Be a Reader!

At key times of the year, ~300 members are needed to provide peer reviews of nominations and applications for all of our Global Awards and Scholarships. 

Timeline
The most readers are needed in March/April and May of each year, but we welcome volunteers any time of the year.  If you are interested in helping review the work of your peers, please complete this form. 

Time Commitment 
Reviewing is done online at your convenience. The time to read and score nominations varies based on the volunteer's level of expertise and past experience with our process. If you reviewed for any conference programs or regional awards, then you will be quicker. 

For new volunteers, dedicating 20-30 minutes to each application/ nomination package is adequate. Previous volunteers avg about 15 min/application. We assign no more than 8 nominations to a reviewer. Instructions are provided, as well as scoring rubrics and criteria.
