Reasons for pause in 2022 and the need for input.
o The number of nominees has dwindled steadily the past few years.
o New attempts to attract nominees have not been fruitful.
o Based on the qualifying criteria, it will be difficult for students to fulfill the application requirements during the pandemic.
o The award program has not seen changes in many years. With an abbreviated virtual convention, it’s a good time to take a pause to try to address how to attract more nominees, make it more meaningful to all and possibly reimagine the event to make it more relevant.
