Know an extraordinary leader who has championed workforce development? Check out the CareerWork$ Inaugural Biller Visionary Award!

One opportunity can change a life. And that life can change many more.

This December, we’re introducing an award to honor exactly that.

We are proud to announce the inaugural Biller Visionary Award.

Named in honor of CareerWork$ founders Les and Sheri Biller, this award celebrates their enduring belief in the potential of individuals and the transformative power of career opportunity. It will recognize one outstanding CareerWork$ alum who exemplifies that vision through achievement, leadership, and a commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of others.

Across the country, our alumni are advancing in their careers, leading in their workplaces, mentoring others, and opening doors for those who follow. This award is how we say thank you, and how we tell their stories.

The first Biller Visionary Award will be presented on Thursday, December 3, 2026, at our 20th Anniversary Impact Summit at the Washington Athletic Club in Seattle.

Who should we honor?

Think of a CareerWork$ alum whose journey inspires others. Someone who has shown remarkable growth, perseverance, leadership, or a commitment to creating opportunities for others. Alumni from any CareerWork$ program are eligible, and a name plus a few sentences about the difference they’ve made is all it takes.

Nominations close Monday, November 2. Share this with someone who should see it.

Want to be in the room?

There’s still time to purchase tickets to our 20th Anniversary Impact Summit! Join us in Seattle on December 3 as we celebrate 20 years of impact and honor our first Biller Visionary Award recipient. Ticket information is in the comments.
