The Speakers Bureau - info for Chapter Members APIC chapter 13 has a Speakers’ Bureau to provide infection prevention presentations to nursing, medical and allied health schools, as well as professional organizations and community groups.
These sessions are part of our Chapter’s outreach and are provided free of charge to the school or group. Speakers will not receive financial compensation for these sessions either from APIC or the group. Chapter 13 will provide a maximum round trip travel stipend of $30 upon presentation of valid receipts.
If you are interested in participating in this valuable program, please contact Barbara A. Smith at basmithrn@gmail.com. Thank you for your support of the Chapter.

SHERRY CHISHOLM AWARD The APIC Greater NY Chapter 13 has chosen to honor Sherry Chisholm, one of our founding members, by creating an annual award in her name and memory. Sherry was not only one of the Infection Control Specialists who helped establish the NY Chapter, but she was highly regarded for her hard work and great support of her peers throughout her career.
The Greater NY Chapter gives the Sherry Chisholm award each year to a current chapter member who has exemplified great service and commitment to the Infection Prevention profession in our chapter and beyond. Each winter, the Board of Directors publishes criteria and award application information to the membership and announces the winner in early spring.
The Sherry Chisholm award grants funds to the award winner to attend the APIC National Conference held in the summer of that year. The winners of the Chisholm Award, since its inception in 2004 are:
