Awards Committee's Process
Winners are selected by
considering the nominee's contributions and impact on individuals, systems, or populations using the criteria of the particular award. To a lesser degree, general
contributions the individual has made to the profession -- including ISPN or one of the constituent divisions - are considered. While many award recipients are seasoned
achievers, early career members who are making solid contributions have received awards in recent years.
Questions?
Welcome at any point . . . Karen Boardman, Awards Committee, at kboardman@creighton.edu or 402-280-2031.
