Entry Procedures

Any member may nominate a Council participant, group of councillors, or recognized component body by submitting an online nomination with a brief curriculum vitae highlighting Council service, and up to three letters of support. Letters of support are greatly encouraged and are at the discretion of the nominator. Additionally, a nominee should have only one nomination whether from a chapter, entity (such as a committee or section), or individual. All entries must be submitted no later than March 17, 2025, for consideration by the Council Awards Committee. Please follow up if you do not receive a confirmation.

Judging

The Council Awards Committee, consisting of current and past councillors appointed by the Speaker, will judge the entries. The decision of the judges is final, and the judges reserve the right to make no award if there are no nominees of sufficient merit. The award will be presented at the annual Council Awards Luncheon.
