APC Call for Award Nominations
APC is excited to announce our refreshed APC Awards Nomination process. New for 2021, APC has streamlined the nominations process for all APC Leadership Awards except the Oskar Pfister Award.
APC recognizes individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the profession of pastoral care through our Annual Leadership Awards. From administrators who demonstrate exceptional commitment to the development of chaplaincy care programs to chaplains who provide chaplaincy care in an exemplary manner, we celebrate the gifts and contributions of those who promote professional chaplaincy.
Award nominations are due by April 15th and may be e-mailed to info@professionalchaplains.org, faxed to 847.240.1015 or mailed to the APC national office. The following awards will be presented at the 2022 ACPE/APC Joint Conference
• Anton Boisen Professional Service Award
• Distinguished Service Award
• Outstanding Local Leadership Award
• Retired Chaplain Award
Please take a moment to visit the Annual Leadership Awards page to learn more about each award and its criteria, and how to nominate a colleague.
The Membership Committee looks forward to celebrating the outstanding recipients who are leading the way to excellence in Professional Chaplaincy.
