Important Notes on Nominations

It is important to remember that Area award nominations can be submitted concurrently with Region 6 nominations; the same nomination can be considered simultaneously at each level. In addition, prior-year submittals may be re-submitted (updated as appropriate or necessary) for current consideration.

Supporting information on your nominee is a key ingredient in a successful nomination process.  While a fully completed Area Award nomination form is the base requirement to submit your nominee, the inclusion of summary information (along with the form) allows the section to provide greater depth and detail regarding the nature of their nominee’s achievements and contributions.  In each of the nomination forms you will find specific descriptions of supporting information that can be included in your nomination submittal. When there are several competing submittals from various sections, this additional detail can be the difference.
