Eligibility:

The NP State Award for Excellence is given annually to an 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 of this award have been physicians, legislators, educators, etc.  NPs are also 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.

Winners receive the following from AANP

• All winners receive a one-time waiver of their registration fee for the 2013 National Conference
• Current AANP member winners receive a one-year extension on their membership, beginning at their current renewal date
• Non-AANP members who are award recipients are given a one-year complimentary membership
• Winners will be recognized during the 2013 AANP National Conference in June
