The Programme Best Practice Awards (BPA's) are an annual award.   These awards are presented yearly at the Federation Meeting. 

There is an award presented for each of the 8 Objectives.   Follow this link to view the Objectives. 

Clubs are able to nominate a chosen project for one or more objective. 

The chosen project must have been submitted to the Programme Database and have been approved.  The chosen project will have been allocated what is known as a PFR No.  This number  must be included in the application.

The Programme Team will call for Nominations around January / February of each year.  Please watch out for the link to the nomination form in the Latest News section of the Programme Members area, it will also be publicised in the eSPAN. Additionally Programme Zone coordinators will also encourage Clubs to submit a project for nomination.

Members of the Programme team and at times independent judges will be appointed to judge the applications. 

The questions on the application form are weighted, this assists with the judging process.

Winning a Best Practice Award is a valued reward for a Soroptimist Club initiating a project or advocacy work which has benefited their community and contributed to the improvement in the lives of women and girls.
