Bridging the Talent Gap

Education is a top priority in our digital infrastructure industry. Many of us who built this industry are nearing retirement, so we have a strong need for new talent to support our continued growth.  The Education Champion award is given to an individual who has exemplified our ideals of helping align the education sector to prepare the next generation to continue to grow and improve this industry.

Nominations for the 2022 Education Champion Award will open in May 2022.

Nomination Requirements/Considerations
