Programming Awards

One of the primary roles of a professional association is to recognize the excellence, service, and achievements of its members. There is no better way to encourage good work than to identify those whose contributions are outstanding.

At NCIV's Annual National Meeting we present Awards to exemplary members of the network, selected by their peers. They are ''outstanding achievers within the NCIV network who have given tirelessly of their energies and creativity to the success of the International Visitor Leadership Program and to promote international education and exchange.'' NCIV is proud to salute their volunteer spirit, professionalism, and service to our country and the world.
