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.
