2023 Fred Stott Award
This award has been given since 2009 in memory of Fred Stott, a member of the ACT board as clerk, cheerleader, friend, and advocate. "Over the years, he invited us to join our resources with our voices. Again and again, we did so, learning in the process to speak fully for our beliefs," said his son Sandy Stott.
