Tips for Writing a Nomination
- Be specific in describing the contributions of the individual you are nominating. Point to real improvements and tangible impact, using multiple examples.
- Make sure you are responding to the questions posed on the nomination form, not just providing a general description of work done by your candidate.
- Nominations do not have to belong to be effective, but please provide enough background so that the impact of your nominee's contributions is clear.
- Take care to explain any technical terms and "insider jargon" in everyday language. It is important to explain any initiatives or projects mentioned so that the committee understands the nominee's accomplishments in full.
