CCA Partner Association

The CCA Partner Association Award of Excellence was created in 1992 in memory of Jake Thygesen. The award recognizes CCA integrated partner associations who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in industry enhancement (through lobbying, government relations, etc.), education and member recruitment.

During his year as CCA Chair, Jake Thygesen was a firm believer in the association’s success being directly linked to the success of its individual partner associations.
