DATE AND STRUCTURE OF CEREMONY

The awards ceremony will now be held during our annual statewide conference on Friday, November 8, 2024, at Elgin Community College. This change allows for greater exposure to our award winners and eliminates an additional day someone would be out of their district. The ceremony will take place during the conference's lunch break. Conference registration will include the awards ceremony and meal. Additionally, members can learn directly from golden achievement winners, as recipients will have the opportunity to present their winning submissions.

New this year, INSPRA members will receive ONE FREE entry. The committee reviewed several options to address the equity and equality of these awards. They agreed this was one way the organization could ensure that all members could participate in the awards, regardless of their district or department budget.

Additional entries will cost:

  • $45 per entry (if received by midnight, Wednesday, September 4, 2024)

  • $55 per entry (if received by midnight, Wednesday, September 18, 2024)
