District Chairs: District Awards Reporting Form Due April 16
|
Each district chair is invited to submit their district-level student, coach, and administrator award winners to be considered for national-level awards using this form. Two things are required to enter your local award winners into the running for our national-level award: the completion of this reporting form and the supporting information collected as part of the nomination form. If your district used the nominating forms to select a winner, reminder that all nomination emails have the same all nomination emails have the same naming convention: District [Award Name] Nomination [Nominee Name]. The submission form closes April 16.
You can also submit any District Leader Commendations through the reporting form. Commendations do not require a separate nomination form.
