AANP Award Nominations are now open

Nominations are now open for the prestigious 2017 AANP State Award for Excellence. The NP State Award for Excellence is given annually to an individual NP in each state who has demonstrated excellence in NP clinical practice.

The Advocate State Award for Excellence is given annually to an individual in each state who has made a significant contribution toward increasing awareness and recognition of NPs. Examples of past recipients have been physicians, legislators, educators, etc. NPs are also eligible for the advocate award for non-clinical initiatives related to leadership, precepting, policy, politics, research, education or community affairs.

Membership in AANP is not a requirement to nominate an individual or to be nominated. Recipients of the awards receive a one-time waiver of their registration fee for the AANP 2017 National Conference and a one-year complimentary AANP membership. They will also be recognized during the AANP 2017 National Conference in Philadelphia, June 20 – 25.
