The Awards & Recognition Committee is responsible for identifying and recognizing outstanding contributions by NAEPSDP members to the association and the profession. The Committee is made up of a Committee Chair, a Committee Co-Chair/Vice-Chair, and committee members from the paid membership of the association, including former award recipients when feasible. The Committee works closely with the Board, Regional Representatives and members to identify deserving individuals. Award winners are recognized annually at the Annual Meeting of the association.
