Emerging Leader Award

Geiger Gibson Program Announces 2012 Emerging Leader Award Nomination Period

EMERGING LEADER NOMINATION FORM AVAILABLE HERE

The Geiger Gibson Program established its Emerging Leader award in 2007. This award is designed to highlight and share the accomplishments of young members of the health center and PCA family. We are looking for young leaders who have undertaken or guided a specific task (or multiple tasks) that has helped the health center or PCA further the mission of providing high-quality, culturally competent health services to underserved populations in your service area. We will consider a wide range of accomplishments-for example, developing new program initiatives, helping the health center or PCA run more efficiently, increasing outreach to new patients, etc. The nomination period is now open, and nominations will be accepted through Friday, February 10, 2012. The award will be presented at the 2012 Geiger Gibson Symposium, which will be held in conjunction with the NACHC Policy and Issues Forum in Washington, DC in March 2012. A nomination letter and form has been sent to each health center and PCA and is also available at the link at the top of this paragraph.
