NAGC works to support those who enhance the growth and development of gifted and talented children through education, advocacy, community building, and research
The purpose of the Creativity Network's E. Paul Torrance Award is to acknowledge and reward significant contributions of individuals and groups whose work facilitates the enhancement and spread of creativity, especially among gifted children, and who are themselves creative thinkers. The award carries the name of the man who probably more than any other individual has promoted the values and behavior the Creativity Network wishes to honor.
