PSCA Prism Award
· Celebrating Excellence and Business Achievement Through Coaching
The Puget Sound Coaches Association Prism Award is presented in
recognition of business and non-profit organizations attaining high
levels of excellence and business achievement through their
commitment to coaching as a leadership strategy. The presentation of
the Prism Award is made to the organization while also recognizing

Prism Award Nomination Process
We invite coaches to
nominate organizations for the PSCA Prism Award who have actively
included coaching as part of their leadership strategy and help ensure
the organization does indeed meet the eligibility criteria for
nomination.
The nominating coach takes the lead in assisting the organization in
completing the Prism Award Nomination Form and submits the resulting
form to the PSCA Prism Award Selection Committee. The Selection
Committee then reviews the completed Nomination Forms and conducts
organizational interviews to determine the winner.
