2025 CPRS National Major and Special Awards are now closed.
The CPRS Major and Special awards are presented annually to celebrate outstanding achievement and exceptional involvement in the profession by CPRS members.
Unlike the CPRS Awards of Excellence, participation in the program is reserved exclusively for CPRS members in good standing, with winners being nominated by peers.
Major Award recipients will be invited to accept their award at the CPRS National Conference, where they will get the chance to accept the award and deliver an acceptance speech to their fellow members.
Winners will also be featured on the CPRS website and celebrated at the local level.
