Dr. Patricia Greene Leadership Award

Established in 1999 and first bestowed in 2000, the Dr. Patricia Greene Leadership Award is presented to an APHON member who has demonstrated excellence in service to and leadership of APHON in a given year. Trish Greene served as APHON's first president. Following her passing in 1999 after a valiant fight against cancer, a fund was established to support an award in Trish's honor. Donations flooded in, and the fund continues to accept charitable contributions. 

This award is presented to an APHON member who has demonstrated excellence in service to and leadership of APHON in the last year. The recipient receives a $1,000 honorarium, recognition at the annual conference business awards luncheon, APHON Counts, in a press release, and an announcement is sent to the recipient's employer. 

Requirements for Consideration:

• A registered professional nurse who has demonstrated exemplary service through leadership to APHON in a particular year.
• A member in good standing of APHON.
• A nurse who currently demonstrates leadership in the organization and whose leadership and service have enhanced the reputation, growth, and development of the association.
• A nurse who, by example, has fostered or mentored the leadership potential of other APHON members.
• A nurse who has distinguished herself/himself by forwarding or completing a project/program on behalf of the organization during the year.
