The Washington State Association of College Trustees (ACT) created the Transforming Lives Awards program to recognize current or former students whose lives have been transformed by pursuing higher education at a community or technical college.
Each year the ACT Awards Committee chooses a small number of the winners to serve as keynote speakers at the awards banquet, typically held during the ACT Winter Conference in January.

The Transforming Lives award program was suspended by the State Board for Community and Technical Colleges in 2024.
