Completing the Nomination Form : As a general rule, the nominator should limit documentation to no more than four, single-spaced typewritten pages (or equivalent, if handwritten). There are two critical considerations for the nomination materials: (1) Be responsive to the criterion for the award ("a record of outstanding achievements in a career and/or civic involvement"); and (2) Remember that selection committee members will make their determinations based on the responsiveness, clarity and completeness of the nomination materials. As a nominator, you have decided to offer this person for consideration; do make the very best "case" that you can.

1. Summary Statement . In one page or less summarize the most important aspects of the nominee’s life and/or career that qualify him/her for this award. (You will have space for elaboration in numbers 2 and 3 below.)


2. The Record.
