Introducing the "Mark of Distinction" Recognition Program for NSPRA Chapters

Our new chapter recognition program, the “Mark of Distinction,” was introduced at this year’s Leaders’ Meeting in San Francisco. This program replaces the Blue Ribbon Chapter Awards program, which was retired in 2008 after a 30-year run.

We are excited to be offering this new program, as it includes expanded recognition opportunities for chapters of all sizes. There are two entry sections – Membership Building and Special Focus Areas, as well as two categories within them based on current membership percentages. Chapters can enter one or all of the Special Focus Areas as well as Membership Building, and have an opportunity to receive numerous recognition incentives, from discounts on Seminar registrations, to PR Power Hours, professional memberships, and other offerings. Recognized chapters will be able to use a special “mark of distinction” on their web sites and chapter newsletters and stationery.

The deadline for entries is May 15, 2010 and the first recognitions will be awarded at the 2010 Seminar in Charlotte, N.C. We encourage you to review the “Mark of Distinction” guidelines and application now and challenge your chapter to enter in this inaugural year of the program.
