President and President-Elect Take Positions
Patrice Streicher took the gavel as NAPR President at the 2011 Annual Business Meeting. Patrice had served NAPR as a Board member and officer for the past several years, having also served as Chair of the P.R. committee as well as speaking at past NAPR educational events and contributing articles to the NAPR Newsletter. At the 2011 convention, Patrice was the recipient of the President’s Award.
Anne Folger was elected NAPR President-Elect by the members of the newly-elected NAPR Board of Directors. In addition to serving on the Board for the past several years, Folger served on several NAPR committees and most recently served as Vice President of NAPR. Folger assumed her duties immediately following the NAPR Annual Business Meeting.
Jim Stone was elected NAPR Vice President by the Board of Directors. Jim has also served on the Board for several years, most recently as Secretary-Treasurer.
Craig Fowler was elected Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Fowler most recently served on the Board of Directors and continues to Chair of the Education Committee which oversees the annual convention.
Tammy Jamison was presented the NAPR Distinguished Service Award, the highest award given by NAPR, for her devotion to and leadership of NAPR. This inherent trait that we share – the drive for perfection – is one of the main reasons our Association continues to prosper, and the recipient of the Distinguished Service Award personifies these traits.
Tammy has been involved with and actively committed to the Association for many years, serving on the Board, many committees, as well as President in 2009-10. Tammy continues to leave her mark on NAPR with her creativity, perseverance, and vision for the future.
President's Award: 
Patrice Streicher & Brenda Lewis received the President’s Award for unselfishly giving of their time, knowledge and creativity to support NAPR and its mission.
Patrice Streicher, who served this past year as both President-Elect and Public Relations Committee Chair, is the one you can thank for the extensive new Social Media networks through which NAPR is now communicating with you. She was instrumental in setting up NAPR’s Facebook, Twitter, and probably some other electronic communications methods that we don’t even know about yet! In addition to this, Patrice continues to take care of updates and distribution of the Physician Practice Search Guide which has proven to be one of the most valuable publications NAPR has ever produced.
Brenda Lewis took on the job of NAPR SERVICES President last year and, despite economic and industry challenges, she and her Board have not only managed to offer new candidate sourcing products and services to the NAPR membership, but also managed to stay well within budget, even turning a small profit.
Outstanding Committee Chair Award:
Craig Fowler received the Outstanding Committee Chair Award. Craig has worked tirelessly for the past several years to bring the highest level of excellent to the NAPR Convention, School of Healthcare Recruitment, and new this year the Mini-Med School as well as the Webinars or, as we have called them, the NAPR Log-Ins, all of which have been extremely successful.
Vendor Appreciation Award: 
The NAPR Board of Directors voted to present the 2011 Vendor Appreciation Award to Medical Mailing Services (MMS) for its continued support of NAPR through sponsorships, exhibiting at meetings, and advertising in several NAPR publications. Jane Storm of MMS was present to accept the award.
