AANP 2012 State Award for Excellence and Advocate State Award for Excellence

Please check back later for information about nominating someone for one of these annual AANP awards.

Cathy Fliris, FNP received the Wyoming NP State Award for Excellence, and Senator Charles Scott was given the Wyoming State Award for Nurse Practitioner Advocate for 2011.

The State Award for Nurse Practitioner Excellence is given annually to an NP who has demonstrated excellence in NP clinical practice. The Advocate State Award for Excellence is given annually to an individual who has made a significant contribution toward increasing awareness and acceptance 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. Current AANP state representatives and board members are not eligible to receive a State Award for Excellence during their term of office.

Nominations are submitted via the AANP website and are then forwarded to our AANP Representative, Maria Kidner. She and a selection committee determine who Wyoming's award winners will be. The information is then passed on to AANP who will contact the award winners.

Please consider participating in this process as a way of recognizing an outstanding NP and NP Advocate.
