Each year, the Carrie Chapman Catt Award is bestowed on a long-time member of the League who has made significant contributions to the community outside of their profession. The recipient may not hold a party-affiliated elected office at the time of the award.
In honor of its 90th anniversary, the League of Women Voters of Ames and Story County established the Making Democracy Work Award in 2017. With this award, the League honors outstanding efforts of individuals and organizations who have inspired others.
