Selection Process
Four months prior to the Crossroads conference, all registered attendees, speakers, Advisory Board members, and Artia Solutions staff members will be allowed one nomination. These nominations will create The Extra Mile Award Nominations List.
Three months prior to the Crossroads conference, all registered attendees, speakers, Advisory Board members, and Artia Solutions staff members will be allowed to vote for any three nominees listed on The Extra Mile Award Nominations List.
The top nominees will then be voted on by the Advisory Board members and Artia Solutions staff members, and up to three nominees will be awarded with The Extra Mile Award at each Crossroads conference.
Selection Criteria
The Extra Mile Award recipients are considered leaders by their peers. They are thoughtful, decisive, and proactive. They collaborate with state peers, providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, associations, and other diverse thought leaders in the industry. They initiate discussions when others are hesitant. They maintain relationships, and they show an ability and drive to pioneer creative, successful solutions.
Award Benefits
All recipients of the award will be allotted a scholarship to attend all future Crossroads conferences, and they also will have special recognition each year at Crossroads.
