KCDAA Annual Awards Program
KCDAA Awards are to recognize individuals who make a positive impact on prosecution in our state. Awards may be presented during the KCDAA Annual Meeting each year.
Please take time to nominate a member of the KCDAA whom you believe to be deserving of an award. This is the opportunity to recognize the accomplishments of the hard-working prosecutors who make up the membership of the KCDAA as well a policy maker, outside the organization, who has helped with interests of the KCDAA.
FOUR categories of awards will be presented: The Prosecutor of the Year, the Lifetime Achievement Award, Associate Member Prosecutor of the Year, and Policymaker of the Year. The awards winners are chosen by the KCDAA Board of Directors.
