Guidelines:
1) Nominations must be complete or they will not be accepted. Nominees must include full descriptions regarding the questions asked. Please ask the nominee for the correct information if needed.
2) We have reduced the number of categories this year, in order to streamline the awards process and to spotlight the awardees.
3) One comprehensive nomination is better than many nominations. The nominees are selected based on the quality of their work, not on how many times nominated.
4) You are welcome to nominate yourself, your entity or anyone or entity that you feel is worthy.
5) NMRC/NMSWANA staff and board members are welcome to submit nominations.
Review Process:
1) The review committee will be comprised of respective NMRC or NMSWANA board members. If one of the review committee members is nominated or works for a nominated entity, they will recuse themselves from the committee.
2) The committee will not be able to research nominee information. Again, complete applications are most helpful to guide selection.
3) The committee may choose to re-categorize nominations into other award categories.
4) The committee may choose, even though nominations were provided for a certain category, to not select an award winner in that category.
5) If a category does not have a nomination, the committee may consider other nominees or may select a deserving awardee based on input from staff and other committee members. They may also choose to not select an awardee for that category that year.
