Professional Excellence Award

WHPRMS’ Professional Excellence Award is a great way to recognize a colleague who has earned the respect of others. 

Is there is a person you admire in the healthcare industry, perhaps your mentor, your confidant, your beacon in the fog? Or a colleague who just blatantly knows their stuff?  Please nominate them for WHPRMS’ Professional Excellence Award! Nominations are due by September 1, 2024.

Only one WHPRMS member is awarded this distinguished honor each year!

Your nominee should be a leader inside and outside their organization. They should be a seasoned professional who has demonstrated and shared their knowledge, advancing the principles of communications, marketing and public relations within the healthcare industry.
