• Two years experience as a professional advisor (or an equivalent position for countries outside the United States).
• All positions held with at least 50% of the duties in direct advisement to students.
• NACADA membership is not required at the time of application.
• Please keep in mind that if a position has 50% or more of direct advising duties with students, then it does count as a professional advising position.  For example, if you are a Student Success Coach and 50% of your job duties comprise advising students, then you would count this position, in addition to any others with a more specific advising job title. Applicants must ensure that their resume is clearly marked with an accurate description of the positions and the percentages specified for each of their job duties. 
• Current members of the Board of Directors and Council are not eligible for consideration for this award.  After the member’s term of office is over, they are then eligible for consideration.

Advising Resume/Vitae.  Please limit entries to material that pertains directly to academic advising. Resume/vitae must include dates of your employment down to the month/year and evidence of at least 50% of the applicant's duties spent on direct advising of students.  Adding percentages along with job duties is highly recommended.  
3. International Conference participation statement: a. List and describe the goals you hope to accomplish by attending the International Conference. b. In what ways would you like to extend your involvement in NACADA at the international level? c. Describe your interest in understanding advising across the globe and how you will apply this to your daily work and to your institution as a whole.
