TIPS TO WRITING A GREAT NOMINATION

1. Before you begin, read the entire nomination packet through carefully. Make sure that you dot all the i's and cross all the t's - in other words, follow the directions fully and completely.
2. Don't wait to the last minute. A great nomination reflects thought and planning!
3. Don't use acronyms! Your nominations are read by reviewers from around the state. Everyone is not familiar with the abbreviations you might customarily use in your group(s).
4. Be as clear and concise in what you say as possible. Don't repeat information over and over.
5. Refer to the nomination criteria and tell us exactly what the nominee has accomplished that's in alignment with the nomination criteria. Give concrete examples.
6. Computer generated and/or typed forms are required. This helps the reviewers read your nomination and eliminates any misunderstandings caused by handwriting.
7. Make sure your letters of recommendation come from two people other than the person writing the nomination.
8. All documents, including the letters of recommendation, must be submitted both in hard copy and on a CD readable by a computer. (Documents should be formatted in .doc or .pdf files. Microsoft Vista users, please save Word files in '97 version.) The electronic version will be used to share the nomination packet with all the reviewers, making our process as cost-effective and as "green" as possible. Thanks for understanding and supporting our efforts.
9. We're happy to answer any questions you may have as you work on your nominations! Please feel free to call 928 899-1931. or e-mail
