Each year, the VPTA honors outstanding member achievements in the areas of education, practice and service, publications, research, and academic excellence. Awards in the program include the Catherine Worthingham Fellows, the Mary McMillan and John H.P. Maley Lectureships and two NEW awards: the APTA Humanitarian Award and the APTA Societal Impact Award. These new awards will recognize physical therapy leaders who demonstrate and bring awareness to the profession through volunteerism and philanthropic initiatives. Award recipients are recognized in June during a ceremony and reception at the NEXT Conference and Exposition, and this recognition includes highlighting the recipients’ component affiliations.
Play a significant role in recognizing your colleagues’ achievements by nominating the person or persons you feel are most deserving of a VPTA award, as well as promoting the awards program in your member communications. The 2018 Call for Nominations opens on September 1 and will close December 1. All nominations must be submitted electronically. For more details about each award, including submission and eligibility requirements, please visit the Honors and Awards webpage.
