AANP State Award for Excellence Nominations- nominate a deserving candidate today!

Every year the AANP provides the opportunity to highlight two individuals who support the NP role. 

(1) NP State Award for Excellence is given to an NP in each state who has demonstrated excellence in clinical practice.

(2) The Advocate States Award for Excellence is given 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 and educators. NPs are also eligible for the advocate award for non-clinical practice initiative related to leadership, precepting, policy, politics, research, education or community affairs.

Only one award may be given per category in each state. Groups and organizations are not eligible to receive these awards.

The nominator MUST be a current individual AANP member to submit a candidate for a state award; however, the candidate does not have to be an AANP member.

To submit a nominee, you can go to the AANP website or https://stateawards.aanp.org
