CMED Award Nominations: Stories of Success
Nominate Your Center for the Award
2020 has been a very different year for everyone, but for educational organizations it presented very particular challenges and opportunities.
This year, CMED Awards are going virtual and will recognize resilience, creativity, and innovation in the face of unprecedented challenges faced by the university-based executive, professional and continuing education in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The CMED Awards committee is now accepting nominations for our 43rd Annual CMED Awards. In this unique year, our goal is to provide an opportunity for CMED members and attendees to share their stories of accomplishment and success in overcoming a variety of challenges such as shifting to remote/online/virtual delivery at scale in order to continue delivering engaging and impactful learning experiences.
We invite you to submit your center’s stories of struggle, success and learning in a 3-5 minute digital video format. All videos will be posted on CMED’s virtual platform and will be open to all conference attendees for review and voting. The top 3 videos with the highest number of votes will be awarded a Peer Choice Award.
Please submit your video nominations by e-mail to:
cmed@proed.com including the URL to an .mp4 format file through a file hosting service such as ‘Dropbox’ or ‘Google Drive’.
Please ensure that your email includes contact information.
Deadline to submit video nominations: November 1st, 2020

“This was my first time at CMED and as a new Centre Director, I found the networking opportunities and the content of the sessions to be of tremendous value in helping me get up to speed, and to make connections with other Centres. I plan to come back every year if possible.”

“The caliber of this conference is much higher than any others that I attend due to the attention to detail in putting together the agenda and all the communication leading up to the conference. The attendees’ willingness to reach out and help one another is unmatched. I always leave re-energized for the work ahead of us.”
