Tips for Writing a Nomination
- Be specific when describing the contributions of the individual you are nominating. Point to real improvements and tangible impact, using multiple examples if you’d like.
- Make sure you are responding to the questions posed on the form, not just providing a general description of work done by your candidate.
- Nominations do not have to be long to be effective, but please provide enough background so that the impact of your nominee’s contributions is clear.
- Take care to explain any technical terms and “insider jargon” in everyday language. It is also important to explain in detail any initiatives or projects mentioned so that the committee understands the nominee’s accomplishments fully.
- Please don’t worry too much about your writing. In this case, it’s more about what you say, and less about how you say it. But do remember to keep it professional!
