WASHINGTON, D.C. — At the Annual Conference of the Accrediting Council of Continuing Education (ACCET), a nationally recognized accrediting organization, it was announced that ACCET’s Lifetime Achievement Award will be named after Sandra Lockwood, former Moultrian, to recognize her decades of significant service to ACCET and post-secondary career education.

Moving forward, this most prestigious ACCET award will be named the “Sandra Lockwood Lifetime Achievement Award,” according to a release from her family.

“Sandra received the inaugural award two years ago and is honored to now have this award presented to future recipients in her name,” the release said.
