Eligibility
The NP State Award for Excellence is given annually to an NP who has demonstrated excellence in NP clinical practice.
The Advocate State Award for Excellence is given annually to an individual who has made a significant contribution toward increasing awareness and acceptance of NPs. Examples of past recipients of this award have been physicians, legislators, educators, etc. NPs are eligible for the advocate award for non-clinical practice initiatives related to leadership, precepting, policy, politics, research, education, or community affairs.
If the situation warrants a tie, two awards may be given in one or both categories. Neither the person nominated nor the nominator has to be an AANP member.
Current AANP state representatives and board members are not eligible to receive a State Award for Excellence during their term of office.
