The award recognizes leadership, dedication and innovation in state higher education policy and administration. 

In presenting the award, SHEEO noted the Board's Direct Admissions program admitting all high school students into an Idaho public higher education institution and the Apply Idaho website enabling students to submit applications to those same institutions free of charge.  The award also recognizes the Board's efforts to support and implement Governor C.L.
