Nominators are
asked to honor the work of the nominee by providing a complete,
organized and timely nomination packet. To assist nominators, we
have provided guidelines for developing a nomination packet, details
on the required materials for each award, and a checklist to guide
you through the submission process.
The nominator
is responsible for soliciting and compiling all required nomination
materials, and for submitting the completed nomination packet to the
AEA Office by the submission deadline, Friday, June
7, 2013.
Upon timely receipt, the AEA office will distribute the materials to
the Awards Committee for consideration.
Think carefully about the nomination justification statement and
make sure that it presents clearly and specifically what the
candidate is being nominated for and what he/she has accomplished
that is outstanding.
Choose supporting materials with care so that those materials are
directly relevant to the contributions for which the candidate is
being nominated.
Emphasize the quality and aptness of the nomination materials and
their implicit illustration of the award criteria.
Look at the list of previous award winners for some idea about the
kinds of persons who win the award for which you wish to make a
nomination.
Solicit required letters of support from persons who are relatively
senior and well known in the association and the profession.
Provide individuals offering to write letters in support of your
candidate with a copy of the nomination justification statement and
the award description to help them frame their letters.
Remember that the awards process is necessarily competitive, and
your candidate however worthy, may not win. Please consider
nominating that person the following year if you remain persuaded of
the candidate’s worthiness and potential to win the award.
Any group or
individual who meets the criteria for a given award is eligible for
that award with the following considerations.
AEA membership is a requirement of the Robert Ingle Award.
AEA Board Members, whether they are voting or ex-officio, are not
eligible for the AEA awards during the time that they are sitting on
the Board.
Publications or evaluations to which a voting or ex-officio Board
member made significant contributions are not eligible for the
Outstanding Publication or Evaluation Awards during the time that
they are sitting on the Board.
When soliciting
nomination materials, the Nominator should first decide whether
he/she will submit the nomination packet to the AEA office
electronically or via hardcopy.
For nominations submitted electronically, nominators should be sure
to solicit all materials in an electronic format, or be prepared to
scan hardcopy materials so they can be included in the packet.
Details
For nominations submitted in hardcopy, nominators should be aware
that they must provide the AEA Office with five copies of ALL
nomination materials.
