Annual Conference Awards

It is said that gratitude – genuine and authentic gratitude – has the ability to improve your health, help you overcome adversity, and build strong relationships. As an outward expression of meaningful gratitude, recognition is an important and necessary practice in our profession. 

While there are many ways to recognize the amazing people in our state who do good work, public recognition via Annual Conference is just one way to elevate your gratitude for the work and contribution of your peers. NCHO is honored to provide this space to lift up and shine a spotlight on anyone who should be recognized and celebrated for their contributions to our work and community.

We ask that institutions consider at least submitting one nomination per award category, but institutions may submit more than one submission per award category. Award nominees are not required to attend the Annual Conference, but we strongly encourage them to attend.

Award nominations are due Sunday, September 28, 2025. Questions can be directed to past-president@ncho.org.
