Celebrate a fellow NP!

The VCNP requests nominations for NP awards annually. All nominations must be received by the advertised date. The nominees must be a member in good standing. Please submit a letter or nomination describing how the nominee meets the purpose outlined for the award. All applications will be reviewed by the VCNP Nominations & Awards Committee. Final selections for the awards will be made by the committee. The awards will be announced and presented to the recipients at the VCNP Annual Conference in March.
