Alaska Tobacco Control Alliance
Awards
Paving the Way Awards are our way of recognizing some of the wonderful tobacco prevention work accomplished in our state. Each year we ask for nominations of outstanding individuals and organizations that have helped to pave the way for a tobacco‐free and healthier Alaska. Award winning individuals and organizations are recognized during a reception at the annual Alaska Tobacco Summit. Nomination forms are posted on this page. Some of our past recipients are featured below.
