JDB夺宝电子 Advocate of the Year Award

The JDB夺宝电子 Advocate of the Year Award honors one politically savvy and distinguished member whose advocacy over the past year has promoted academic nursing’s priorities in the federal sphere. The Government Affairs staff compiles data on exceptional member advocates and presents this information to the Government Affairs Committee for review.

The award is presented annually at the JDB夺宝电子 Deans Annual Meeting in the spring. The Government Affairs Committee Chair will present the award to the winner at the Meeting before the membership.

The criteria for the award will be based mostly on quantitative data gathered and participation in JDB夺宝电子’s government affairs and advocacy efforts over the past year, including:

  • Number of JDB夺宝电子 Advocacy Alerts to which the candidate has responded
  • Number of Hill and district office visits recorded
  • Past participation in JDB夺宝电子’s Government Affairs Committee (GAC), past or current participation in State Grassroots Liaison (SGL) program, or other JDB夺宝电子 government affairs/advocacy initiatives
  • Frequency of interaction (phone calls, emails, visits) with GA staff to promote JDB夺宝电子’s legislative agenda in their state
  • Additionally: Current members of the GAC and the Board of Directors are not eligible
