Helpful Considerations When Submitting a Nomination
- Nominate someone who has demonstrated significant contributions according to award specifications. If that person does not win the first time s/he is nominated, consider resubmitting the nomination the following year.
- If your state organization already recognizes members for their contributions to the field, consider nominating those same people for a PNCFL award.
- Invite other organizations, such as your state’s language-specific organizations, to participate in the process of selection of the candidate. Doing so may identify additional candidates as well as provide strong letters of support for the nominee your state submits.
