Nominations

The nominations for honors and awards covered by the DLSAA Honors and Awards System are solicited from the general membership or the DLSAA Board of Trustees. In all cases, however, nominators must have read the qualifications and criteria for the award and believe that their nominees, from casual investigation, are qualified. The following is a summary of the accepted nominators, committees, and approving body for the awards:

Nominators should accomplish the Honors and Awards Nomination Form. A detailed curriculum vitae of the nominee must be attached together with testimonials and/or clippings, if available. In the case of sports honors nominees, detailed sports achievements should be indicated.

The exemplary and sports honors committees and the Board of Trustees will, when applicable, accomplish the following upon receipt of nominations:

  • Study the nominations and determine if they are worthy of further investigation and compile a 'long list;'
  • Commission a table research for those in the 'long list' to arrive at a 'short list;' Commission investigative research for nominees in the 'short list;'
  • Decide on the awardees from the researched 'short list;' and
  • Present the selected awardees to the DLSAA Board for approval or confirmation.

The DLSAA reserves the right to reject any and all nominations at its sole discretion.
