The Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) developed the ACCT Faculty Award to recognize the tremendous contributions of faculty to two-year post-secondary institutions. The Board of Trustees of the college must make the official nomination, but faculty may submit nominations for consideration.

Six criteria as enumerated by the ACCT:

1. In what ways has this educator demonstrated excellence in teaching?
2. What has this educator initiated or helped to develop in the area of innovative programs used in two-year post-secondary institutions?
3. How has this educator served on technical or special committees that affect the college program in the community, state, or nation?
4. How has this educator provided leadership in helping to solve challenges to two-year post-secondary education?
5. How has this educator been active in developing, organizing, or supporting state and/or national two-year post-secondary education associations?
6. What awards or honors has this educator received in recognition of leadership in the college or community?
