ACA Regents' Award

The Award

In 2012 the Board of Regents established the ACA Regents’ Award, which recognizes a special contribution to ACA.

Nomination and Confirmation

The Past President/Regent for Nominations determines if somebody should be considered for the Regents’ Award that year. If so, then the issue goes before the Board of Regents, which needs to affirm the award with a majority vote.

Additional Rules
The ACA is under no obligation to present the Regents’ Award in any particular year and shall never give more than one such award in one calendar year.

Call for Proctors

Are you interested in assisting ACA exam candidates while earning recertification credits? We are seeking volunteers to proctor the online exam June 11-13, 2026. Sign up here. The 3-hour exam will be offered multiple times throughout the three days, and you can choose the time slots that fit your availability. Each proctoring session lasts for 5 hours and is entirely online. It’s a great chance to meet your fellow CAs and to help future CAs!

To ensure that everyone can earn points toward recertification, please do not sign up for more than two time slots. Proctor training will be provided several times in early June. If you have any questions, please reach out to examadmin@certifiedarchivists.org.
