The Mark of Distinction chapter recognition program offers multiple recognition opportunities for NSPRA chapters of all sizes. There are two entry sections: membership building and special focus areas. Each eligible chapter can enter for one or all of the special focus areas as well as for membership building.
Through the program, recognized "exemplary chapters" have an opportunity to receive incentives such as free professional-level NSPRA memberships, discounts on Seminar and pre-Seminar workshop registrations, and more. (Prize packages are valued at $89 to nearly $700!) Recognized chapters also can use the Mark of Distinction logo, naming them as an exemplary chapter, on their chapters' print publications and digital platforms.
Mark of Distinction entries are due each year by May 15, and the presidents of winning chapters are notified by email in mid-June. Learn more about the criteria, requirements and incentives for Mark of Distinction chapters.
