Entry Form Prep Tips

  1. Provide concrete examples of leadership, innovation, achievement and impact, as applicable, that supports your statement about why your nominee merits recognition.
  2. It is helpful to use examples, stories, and other elements in the nomination to paint a picture as to why your nominee is deserving of the award. Be descriptive and showcase what makes your nominee unique. Many members are great; explain why your nominee is exceptional!
  3. Finally, save a copy of what you have written for your records.
