On Friday, June 14, 2024, at the closing ceremony for the North Carolina Chapter of the American Council on Education (ACE) Women’s Network conference in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dr. Pamela G. Senegal, President of Piedmont Community College (PCC) was awarded the organization’s Trailblazer Award for 2024.

“The Trailblazer Award recognizes a female leader in North Carolina higher education that has demonstrated a sustained commitment to advancing women in higher education,” Dr. Yvette Huet, ACE Women’s Network State Chair said.  

In her acceptance remarks, Senegal showed appreciation for those who have enabled her along the way.

“I am grateful to my executive leadership team at the College, to the college’s board and to a loving family that nurtured my leadership gifts long before they were recognized as such,” Senegal said.

“Dr. Senegal has demonstrated a high degree of initiative and is proactive in planning and executing her missions,” Antonio Foster, PCC board chair and retired lieutenant colonel, said. “She has talent and leadership skills that are the finest I have witnessed.”

As such, the NC ACE Network seeks to develop programs that identify, develop, encourage, advance, link and support women in higher education careers in North Carolina.
