Deadline: Friday, April 10

We need your help identifying outstanding NAGDCA members who are shaping secure retirement futures for public sector employees!

To support strong, high-scoring submissions, NAGDCA has created a brief Leadership Award Nomination Checklist to help guide responses and highlight key evaluation criteria. Use of the checklist is optional but strongly encouraged.

Nominees are also encouraged to review the 2025 Leadership Award–winning nominations for helpful examples of strong submissions.

Please note: Dual submissions are not permitted. A project may be submitted either for a Leadership Award or the NAGDCA–Art Caple President’s Award, but not both. If you are unsure which award is the best fit, contact NAGDCA staff in advance with a brief project description for guidance. (President’s Award nominations will open in mid-April.)

If you have any questions, please reach out. We look forward to celebrating your successes!
