Before Completing Nomination:
As the nominator, you are acknowledging the work and accomplishments of the nominee. Based on your recommendation, the nominee has shown evidence for which you can account.
Chronologically, as the process moves beyond recognition at the awards dinner into active membership, we ask that you consider the following questions before the nomination:
- Has the nominee expressed interest in being nominated? Informing the nominee before the nomination may strengthen the nomination process.
- Has the nominee taken part in an organization of service/volunteering? Nominees who have not participated in such capacities may require more organization/operational information before nomination.
- How will the nominee use their skillsets within the Black Achievers Society organization? Sharing how you view their role within the organization may assist the nominee in envisioning their impact as contributing members.
- Do I have the necessary information needed to complete the nomination? Before completing the nomination form, you may consider requesting the five areas listed under “Complete Nomination Form” directly from the nominee.
