The WA-ACTE Impact Awards recognize groups and individuals from the education, business, and industry communities who enhance Career and Technical Education (CTE) by contributing to the improvement, promotion, development, and progress of CTE.  Individuals or entities (from within or outside the field) that have contributed to the success and promotion of CTE, thereby positively impacting the image of CTE, are eligible recipients of these awards.  The deadline to apply for these awards is May 1.  There are two Impact Awards each section can apply for: the Business-Education Partnership Award and the Champion for CTE Award.  Winners will be honored at the WA-ACTE General Session breakfast on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at The Davenport Grand Hotel in Spokane.
