Lifetime Members

Lifetime memberships are given to an ACDE member who demonstrates “leadership and outstanding contributions” to ACDE. Normally, those nominated as lifetime members have served on the executive, have led the development of an Accord, have facilitated the passing and launch of an Accord, or have achieved some other, significant marker. Lifetime memberships are traditionally presented to outgoing deans at their final ACDE meeting.
