NOMINATION PROCESS

This year the Management Council Board developed additional materials to highlight the qualities we look for when selecting award recipients. Under each category, you will find ideal candidate statements and rubrics that will be used to select recipients. The ideal candidate statement is what we would envision being able to say about each of the recipients of the awards. The rubric is a scoring tool that will help us standardize the scoring of each of the nominations.

Nominations are due Friday November 7th. Use the form below to nominate your colleagues!
