Every year, ACCP acknowledges and celebrates corporate citizenship professionals who serve as beacons of excellence in their field.

Champion for Change
The Champion for Change is a senior executive who champions the business case, drives measurable results, and demonstrates commitment to corporate citizenship both inside and outside the company.
Trailblazer
The Trailblazer is a senior practitioner of corporate citizenship whose leadership, strategy, and programs demonstrate significant business and social impact over time.
Rising Star
The Rising Star is a junior or mid-career professional in corporate citizenship whose work has created outsized impact inside and/or outside the company – without the advantage of positional authority.
