Helpful Hints to Organize the Award Nomination Process 12.20.00

While the information contained in the links below address the specific details on the awards nomination guidelines, here are some important details and helpful hints:

1. Make it easy on the National Office to process your package! Please ensure that you include both nominee and nominator contact information in your nomination package (and not only in a cover letter). We need nominee addresses, phone numbers and fax numbers in order to contact award winners and we need nominator contact information in order to send out letter "cc's".

Also, we cannot accept a faxed or emailed version of the nomination on the final date. The original and 12 collated copies of the package must be received by the deadline. Which means - start working on this now! Incomplete packages are not considered.

2. Make it easy on the Awards Committee to read your package! Please follow the instructions contained in the attached document. Specifically:

Please ensure your nomination package addresses the actual criteria and all sections outlined in the links below. The competition for some of these awards is really tough and following the structure will strengthen your nomination package and will help the National Awards Committee assess your candidate.

Please pass this information on to anyone who is in a position to nominate an individual for an award. If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact the AGA National Awards Committee Liaison, Lisa Thatcher, or (800) 242-7211 x 212. Thank you for your participation!
