The nomination submission portal for the 2024 Emerging Leaders Award is now open!
Announced at the 2024 National Seminar, NSPRA's new Emerging Leaders Award will annually recognize up to seven individuals (one from each of NSPRA’s seven regions) who have no more than five years of professional experience working in school public relations, school communications or school marketing for demonstrating excellence and leadership in their work.
As NSPRA introduces the Emerging Leaders Award, the association is sunsetting the NSPRA Front-Runners and 35 Under 35 recognitions while still reflecting the best aspects of each honor in a new, more expansive and inclusive award. These changes were inspired by member insights gathered by the NSPRA Awards Task Force.
Nominations may be submitted by members and non-members, on behalf of an individual or by the individual themselves. Nominators will be asked to provide the following as part of a nomination:
Nominations are due by Friday, October 11.
