HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR NOMINATION
One nomination letter is to be submitted from a primary sponsor specifically addressing the nominee's achievements relative to the eligibility criteria. The primary sponsor must also submit the nominee's current curriculum vitae with the nomination letter. However, we welcome nomination letters for candidates nominated by a primary sponsor and co-sponsors. In that case, we request that the primary sponsor, as the main point of contact, combine all nomination letters into one file for upload. All documents to be uploaded must be in PDF format.
