Information and Tips for Nominators

• Self-nominations are acceptable. Directors may nominate their own advising programs.
• Current members of the Board of Directors and Council are not eligible for consideration for any annual NACADA individual awards. After the member's term of office is over, s/he may then be eligible for consideration.
• Nomination materials submitted cannot be returned.

To help present your nomination in the best possible light:

• Nomination forms should be typed (or printed).
• You must submit the exact number of complete sets of all nomination materials requested. All materials must be collated into complete sets.
• It is best to submit only letters and/or materials that add substance to the nomination. Quality is appreciated more than quantity. A well-written and documented submission increases the likelihood of a positive outcome.
• Additional material sent separately from your packet or letters sent separately to the committee cannot be considered. Be sure to request that all support letters and documentation be returned to the nominator gathering the information for inclusion in the nomination packets.
• Nomination packets must include only original documentation prepared specifically for the NACADA Awards Program. Materials intended for other award programs will not be considered.
• It is a good idea to use title pages to divide sections. Colored paper may be used for this purpose, if desired.
• You should not use binders of any sort. Staple the packet together.
• Videos, CDs and DVDs will not be accepted in support of any nomination in any category except Advising Technology Innovation Awards.
• Submissions that do not meet the submission requirements will not be evaluated.
• It is recommended that nomination materials be sent by a shipping service for which delivery can be tracked. NACADA always sends an e-mail confirmation to the nominator upon receipt of each submission. Contact NACADA at nacada@ksu.edu if you do not receive an e-mail confirming receipt of your nomination materials within a couple of days after you have tracked and confirmed delivery online.
