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 Awards will recognize the work that chapters have completed in the previous year, which is likely to include some of the items listed below. For each chapter activity/program type below, please provide the activity/program name, date, location, number of attendees, and a brief description.
