Describe how your candidate fits this definition by completing the enclosed nomination form.  In many cases, those making the selection for this award will not know the candidate as well as the person making the nomination.  It is, therefore, very important that the nomination be presented conveying the feelings of the nominator about the candidate. It may be advantageous to seek the assistance of someone with good writing skills, if those are not possessed by the nominator.

​

Candidates are required to be members. Selection will be made by the Executive Committee of each Chapter’s Board. Members of the Executive Committee are not eligible to be considered.  The Chapter may or may not have a nominee for this award each year.  Questions may be directed to each Chapter’s Executive Committee.
