Kentucky College Personnel Association The College Personnel Association of Kentucky (CPAK) is proud to establish the CPAK Hall of Fame Gallery of Outstanding Educators and Professionals to honor and recognize our colleagues in the Commonwealth who have served their respective institutions, the state, region, and national associations through leadership and service. These individuals are recognized each year at CPAK Annual Conference and Hall of Fame Reception & Dinner.
Each year, CPAK hosts a Hall of Fame donation campaign in honor of the HOF Inductees. This honor serves as a way to recognize our outstanding colleagues while also supporting our state association. Each nominee is assigned a champion whose goal is to fundraise a minimum of $300 for the CPAK Foundation in honor of the nominee. We encourage you to show your appreciation for our Class 2023 by donating in their name. All gifts are tax-deductible. More information on how the funds are used can be found below.
Tickets to the Hall of Fame Reception and Dinner are included in the cost of the CPAK Conference. Individual tickets for only the HOF Reception & Dinner can also be purchased for $25 per person or $160 for a table of eight (8). More information on the 2023 HOF Reception & Dinner can be found below.
