Four Central Alabama Community College employees were honored on Sunday, November 24, at the 2025 Chancellor’s Awards Ceremony during the Alabama Community College Association Conference in Montgomery. The awards, presented by Chancellor Jimmy Baker, recognize excellence across Alabama’s community colleges and highlight individuals who make a clear and lasting impact on their campuses.

Each participating college was invited to nominate one administrator, one support staff member, and two faculty members. For CACC, the process brought forward four professionals whose work consistently reflects commitment, quality, and genuine care for the students and colleagues they serve.

CACC’s 2025 Chancellor’s Award recipients are:

Administrator: Kendal Entrekin

Academic Faculty: Anne-Marie Evans

Technical Faculty: Vanessa Clark

Support Staff Member: Michael McLain

These employees represent a wide range of roles at CACC, but they share a common thread. Each of them brings steadiness, professionalism, and a strong sense of purpose to their work. Whether they are teaching in the classroom, supporting operations across campus, or leading administrative efforts, their influence helps shape the student experience and strengthens the college as a whole.

President Jeff Lynn expressed his appreciation for the honorees and the example they set.

“Kendal, Anne-Marie, Vanessa, and Michael reflect the kind of dedication that moves our college forward. They are trusted by their students and respected by their colleagues, and their work has a clear and meaningful impact across CACC. We are proud to recognize them as this year’s Chancellor’s Award recipients.”

The Chancellor’s Awards serve as an annual reminder of the talent and commitment found throughout the Alabama Community College System. At CACC, the recognition celebrates individuals who continue to elevate the college’s mission through their everyday efforts.
