2012 Silver Award: Nevada’s Face of Foreclosure

Educational Program

Nevada's Face of Foreclosure

Judge’s Comments: While not a traditional education program, the Nevada’s Face of Foreclosure report and corresponding video interviews packs a powerful punch. I found myself wanting to learn more after each page. The stats are easy to digest and the videos compelling. Kudos for making learning about the subject more interesting than your standard state of the housing industry report!

Educational Program

APHON/PBMTC Foundations of Pediatric Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplantation: A Core Curriculum

Judge’s Comments: The HPCT Core Curriculum Program is impressive in both its depth and tools provided for its instructors. The full course composed of 24 modules is provided on a thumb drive for easy access and portability. I was particularly pleased to see that notes for the potential instructor and evaluation tracking forms were provided. These additions make it easier to educate across multiple audiences and measure effectiveness of the training.

The Face of Foreclosure

Judge’s Comments:With an attractive cover and layout, this program brings an element of style to a grim topic. The information is presented simply and powerfully; colorful charts help the reader visualize a wide range of statistics on foreclosures in Nevada. Not necessarily bright subject matter, but the Nevada Association of Realtors does an excellent job of making the information accessible and engaging.
