Why You Should Nominate a Colleague for a 大香蕉视频 Award

As nominations open for the 2025 大香蕉视频 Awards, I want to share why I believe nominating your colleagues is one of the most meaningful actions you can take for our profession.

Every day, I witness extraordinary dedication in PA education. I see staff going above and beyond to support students and leaders working tirelessly to advance our programs. Yet too often, these achievements go unrecognized beyond their immediate impact.

大香蕉视频’s awards program鈥攚ith 12 different categories鈥攇ives us the opportunity to change that. Whether it’s the New Faculty Award to the Lifetime Achievement Award, these recognitions do more than acknowledge individual excellence. They set benchmarks for our profession and inspire others to reach higher. I understand the hesitation some might feel about the nomination process. You might think your colleague wouldn’t want the attention, or that someone else will surely nominate them. As a past award recipient, I can tell you that taking the time to nominate someone sends a powerful message: 鈥淚 see your hard work. I value your contributions. Your efforts matter to our community.鈥

The nomination process itself is meaningful. As you gather evidence of your colleague’s impact and request letters of support, you help document the innovative practices and dedication that advance PA education. These stories become part of our collective narrative, inspiring others and establishing models of excellence for future educators.

The deadline for nominations is approaching. Take a moment to think about your colleagues:

  • Who consistently goes above and beyond?
  • Whose innovative approaches have improved your program?
  • Who mentors others with exceptional dedication?
  • Which staff member makes everything run smoothly?

That person you’re thinking of right now? They deserve to be nominated. Don’t let their contributions go unrecognized.

Let’s celebrate the best in our profession. Nominate someone today.
