Zoe was instrumental in pioneering the birth of the Women’s Division in the year 2000. She served as Co-Vice President of the division and worked tirelessly recruiting the first women’s teams into the division. She established a set of rules and regulations for the new division that were eventually incorporated into the ACHA Policies and Procedures Manual. Zoe was also instrumental in the appointment of the first women’s commissioner. All of these efforts were accomplished as Zoe was coaching the ACHA Men’s Division II team at the University of Washington.

In recognition of the Harris’ contributions to the Women’s Divisions in the ACHA, the National Player of the Year award was renamed the Zoe Harris Most Valuable Player Award in 2004 for Division 1 and in 2006 for Division 2.
