Constituent Organization Award of Achievement
These awards seek to recognize PA constituent organizations that have developed and successfully executed innovative projects that have had positive impact on health care and/or the PA profession and have encouraged leadership and organization growth. Constituent organizations must map out the achievement in a project in box format that can be reproduced, packaged, and utilized by other constituent organizations. Only completed projects from the previous year will be considered.
Application & Judging
Submissions
To apply for the award constituent organizations must fill out a submission form that includes contact information, a summary of project, and the significance of the achievement. Additionally, the project in the box must be submitted in electronic format and include the following:
- An outline of how the project was conceived and carried out
- A timeline from start to finish
- Helpful hints that could help other constituent organizations carry out the same project
- Challenges and issue to consider when executing the project
- Appropriate supporting documentation, i.e. photographs, Power Point presentations, handouts, budget and other planning tools
- The submission can be in the form of a Facebook, a website, a Power Point presentation, or any other electronic format
Judging
Projects submitted for these awards will be judged on:
- Innovative nature of the project
- Significance of the achievement; impact on health care and/or the PA profession, leadership and the organization
- Thoroughness of submission (example: does it include thorough instructions on how to replicate the project?)
- Support materials (example: does the submission include a Power Point presentation to help facilitate discussion or handouts to complement the project?)
- Ease of replicating the event (example: what does a PA or constituent organization need in the way of volunteer assistance or funds if it wants to replicate the project?)
- The Constituent Relations Committee evaluates submissions based on the above criteria. Awards are made if worthy submissions are received as note below.
