Communicator of Achievement is the highest honor NDPC can bestow upon one of its members. The COA award is presented annually to a member of NDPC and the National Federation of Press Women (NFPW) who has distinguished him or herself within and beyond his or her profession.

NDPC’s honoree advances to the national NFPW competition, where COA judging is based on professional achievement, community service, and service to NFPW and NDPC.

The COA is recognized each year at the NDPC conference and the NFPW conference.

Nominations for the 2022 COA were due in February and were to be sent to 2021 COA Tammy Fogle.

Nominations need not be lengthy or detailed, but should be persuasive and address award criteria. Nominees must be NFPW members. If you are not certain your nominee is an national member, you can ask the First Vice President, Membership, or the individual you plan to nominate.
