The ISACA Global Achievement Awards are ISACA’s highest honors presented for distinguished service, exemplary achievements, and contributions to advancing technology worldwide. Volunteer reviewers will evaluate the nominations and recommend a recipient for each award. The reviewer groups’ recommendations for recipients will be submitted to the ISACA Awards Working Group for final review.
There are four awards in the Global Achievement Award portfolio. Award nominations will be divided among the total number of reviewers to ensure adequate coverage without undue burden on the reviewer. Reviewers must anticipate spending up to 15 hours reading and scoring the nominations. CPEs will only be awarded for scoring all assigned nominations.
- ISACA Technology for Humanity Award
- ISACA Educational Excellence Award
- ISACA Inspirational Leadership Award

To avoid any conflicts of interest, volunteers selected as Global Achievement Award judges may NOT submit nominations, endorsement letters or be nominated for any 2021 Global Achievement Awards. They may, however, participate in the chapter awards or Hall of Fame nomination process, which is separate from the Global Achievement Awards.
