Chapter Awards Criteria:
APBP Chapter Awards recognize the achievements of APBP chapters that have added value to the organization by creating opportunities for local APBP members to grow, engage and connect. Through their efforts, they have raised the visibility of our organization and helped to strengthen and grow our profession and our membership. Up to two awards may be given:
- Chapter of the Year Award: to the most outstanding chapter all around
- Has examples of work completed in at least three of the areas noted below
- Chapter Momentum Award: to a chapter that has shown the most improvement
- Demonstrates improvement through increased membership and/or an increase in activities from one year to the next in two or more of the areas noted below
Chapter Awards will recognize the work that chapters have completed in the previous year, which is likely to include some of the items listed below. In the award nomination, we encourage chapters to highlight their activities and programs including name, date, location, number of attendees, and brief description. Where possible, highlight how the event benefited or addressed member recruitment; diversity, equity and inclusion; skill development; and/or leadership or advocacy opportunities:
