Awards season is here and it’s time to Truly Celebrate! 

Each year, our awards honor the dedication, leadership and philanthropic efforts that leave a lasting mark on our communities and beyond. 

This year, we’re continuing to shine a spotlight locally with region and area recognition. This gives even more collegiate members, college chapters, alumnae and alumnae chapters the chance to be celebrated for their amazing contributions. Region and Area winners will move forward as finalists for the National Council to select our national honorees. 

Region and Area winners will be announced in June 2026. Regional honorees and National recipients will be celebrated at the Norma Minch Andrisek Leadership Conference (NMALC), July 16-19. National recipients will also be celebrated virtually. 

Don’t forget about the Community Impact through Service and Community Impact through Philanthropy awards! Launched last year to celebrate those who go above and beyond, these awards continue to honor individuals and chapters making a powerful difference through their commitment to community service and to Delta Zeta’s philanthropy, Hearing and Speech. 

This is your chance to shine, and we can’t wait to celebrate your remarkable achievements! 

  • Read through award descriptions and eligibility criteria. 
  • Identify the awards your chapter and members should apply for. 
  • Assign chapter award applications to a designated awards coordinator(s) for your college/alumnae chapter. 
  • Share the awards website and encourage your chapter members and other sisters in your network to consider applying for individual awards. 
  • Apply by April 19, 2026.
