Join us for a Judging Event on April 16th and 17th in Peoria

We have a wonderful opportunity for you to learn from healthcare professionals in the Southern United States and examine what works in their markets by judging their marketing materials.

Each year, our Pinnacles’ committee looks for groups to judge our marketing and public relations work. This year, we’ve entered into a reciprocal agreement with Georgia Society for Healthcare Marketing and Public Relations to judge its annual Target Awards competition.

Its competition is similar to ours. The judging is based on a set of criteria and is results driven. Each piece is critiqued by a team of three judges.

Join us for a day-long judging event April 17 in East Peoria in which you and your peers will examine a wide and diverse group of marketing pieces from our healthcare friends in Georgia.

With help from all of you, we should be able to make short work of this important task.

Casual Friday


Dress comfortably, leave your work behind and turn this judging event into a relaxing educational experience.

We’ll arrive at Stoney Creek Inn in East Peoria on Thursday, April 16, to get a jump start on the judging. We welcome your help and comradery Thursday night from 6 to
9:30 p.m. The more the merrier! We’ll provide snacks, pizza and soft drinks.

Free Lunch, Really?


Yes, really. Lunch is free, snacks are free, in fact the event is free. We’ll start again at 8 a.m. Friday digging into the rest of the entries. We expect about 125 entries. Our plan is to be done by 3:30 pm.

You’ll be responsible for your own hotel room should you decide to join us on Thursday night. A block of rooms will be held until April 2. Ask for the discounted
ISHMPR rate of for a standard room (king or two double beds).  To make a room reservation, call 800-659-2220.
