Recognized Chapter Award

Nominations Deadline: June 30, 2025
About

The Recognized Chapter Award serves to honor an affiliated NKF-CNSW Local Chapter with an outstanding record of activity and achievement.

Standards

Chapter activities will be reviewed based on the following:
- Development of patient focused materials and activities, i.e. innovative programs, seminars and/or groups that are patient-related.
- Development of professional educational materials, i.e. innovative programs, conferences, written materials and/or outreach related to professional issues.
- Other chapter activities, i.e. research projects, legislative advocacy, etc.
- Collaboration/involvement with the National Kidney Foundation, NKF affiliates, and other renal or related organizations.
- Cooperation with chapter communication responsibilities to national CNSW, i.e. communication with Regional Representative, timely submission of RenaLink Chapter reports and Chapter recertification form.
Guidelines
- A minimum of 25% of those considered to be NKF-CNSW chapter participants must also be NKF Professional Members. If less than 25% of your Chapter's active membership are national CNSW members, do not complete this application.
- Chapter projects and activities will be reviewed for the time period of January 1 through December 31 of the preceding year.
- This award is meant to acknowledge the accomplishments of chapters, not individual members. Except for those listed under collaborative efforts, activities reported must be CNSW chapter activities as opposed to NKF Affiliate or other committee activities in which CNSW members participate.
- Nominations will be distributed to the NKF-CNSW Executive Committee for voting. Award will be given to the Chapter receiving the majority of Executive Committee members' votes.
- Current members of the CNSW Executive Council are not eligible to be nominated.
