Excellence Awards Dinner and Celebration
The Excellence Awards Dinner and Celebration, is held in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, May 25, during NISOD’s International Conference on Teaching and Leadership Excellence. All 2025 recipients receive a complimentary dinner ticket. However, they must claim their ticket by May 9. A link to claim their complimentary ticket and to purchase guest tickets will be sent to them in January once the ticket system opens. The ticket to the Excellence Awards Dinner does not include participation in the conference. They must register separately for the conference.
IMPORTANT
Each year, we have a few recipients who show up to the Excellence Awards Dinner and Celebration without a ticket. This is usually a sold out event, and we have to turn them away. Please make sure that any of your recipients who are planning to attend claim their ticket AND purchase a ticket for anyone they are bringing with them. Even though their ticket is complimentary, we must know how many people are attending for food and space considerations.
