About

The Recognized CRN Chapter Award serves to honor an affiliated CRN Chapter with an outstanding record of activity and achievement in their community.

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 NKF affiliates, national NKF, and/or other renal or related organizations.
- Cooperation with chapter communication responsibilities to national CRN, 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 CRN chapter members must also be NKF Professional Members.
- 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 CRN Chapter activities as opposed to NKF Affiliate or other committee activities in which CRN members participate.
- Nominations will be distributed to the CRN Executive Committee for voting. Awards will be given to the individual(s) receiving a majority of Executive Committee members' votes.
