Two CLEAR Regulatory Excellence Awards are given each year—one to an individual and one to a team. The award recognizes an individual, team, program or agency demonstrating an outstanding contribution to the enhancement of occupational or professional regulation, regulatory processes or consumer and public protection. The individual, team, program or agency must have demonstrated exceptional leadership, vision, creativity, results and outcomes above and beyond the regular functions of the job or expectations, and beyond what is normally achieved.

Nominees must be CLEAR members or employed by a CLEAR member (individual or agency) and nominated with concurrence by their board, college, commission or agency head.
