AWS Champions

The AWS Champions program recognizes, celebrates, and supports organizations and individuals driving digital transformation with cloud computing. AWS recognizes AWS Education Champions, AWS State and Local Government Champions, AWS EdTech Champions, and AWS GovTech Champions.

The purpose of the program is to acknowledge customers that have used AWS products and services in innovative ways to improve the service to their communities, constituents, customers, stakeholders, staff, students, faculty or researchers. Champions’ experiences and success stories serve as inspiration for other education, state and local government, EdTech and GovTech customers to reference as they think about their own digital transformation journey.

Each AWS Champion organization or individual is different and activities are tailored to each one. Examples of activities in which they may participate include:

• Speaking at conferences, webinars, and events

• Authoring blog posts, ebooks, or articles about their digital transformation experience

• Peer-to-peer networking and support
  

There is no one-size-fits-all list of characteristics that AWS Champions possess. But each Champion shares the AWS mission to accelerate the digital transformation of their organization to improve the experience of their communities, constituents, customers, stakeholders, staff, students, faculty or researchers and share the impact this work has had in their organization and broader community.

We are always on the lookout for the next Education, State and Local Government, EdTech, and GovTech Champions. Any higher education individual, EdTech, GovTech, K12, state or local government organization in the United States currently using AWS to transform and advance outcomes can be nominated to be an AWS Champion. Potential Champions are nominated by Amazon employees who can attest to the innovations of the nominated individual or entity.
