The nomination period is presently open and will continue through 1 March 2011 for the Class of 2012.

You are strongly encouraged to read the information on “Before Submitting Your Fellow Nomination” and then use the Online Application process which is quick and easy. Once you have started the application, it can be held in Draft status until you have completed the entire form and are ready to send the information to us. Once you have submitted the application, the electronic process will automatically send emails to your references and endorsers and provide the means for you to track their status. Also once you have submitted the nomination, no changes for whatever reason can be made which is why we encourage you to put the maximum number of references on the form and find out if they are willing to help you with the submission before sending the nomination.
