Members of the Fellows and Honorary Member Subcommittee and the WSSA Executive Committee are not eligible for nomination. Nomination Procedures Preparation - Submitting the best possible nomination for a distinguished colleague compliments both the candidate and the nominator and it assures that the nominee will be considered as favorably as possible. Obtaining the nominee's assistance in compiling information is encouraged and will improve the accuracy and completeness of the documentation. Clearly identifying and evaluating the nominee's contributions to weed science is the most important part of the nomination, because nominations are ranked on this basis. It is the nominator's responsibility to coordinate the nomination and to assure that it is complete and submitted before the deadline.
Format -Organize the nomination as shown in the enclosed outline.
The nominator is responsible for soliciting supporting letters from at least 3 but not more than 5 active WSSA members. These letters can be sent to the nominator and included in the nomination package or sent directly to Gerry Stephenson, Chair of the Subcommittee. In the latter case, submission by FAX or e-mail is acceptable to meet the deadline as long as signed original letters follow promptly by regular mail. The photograph and biographical sketch will be used for the awards brochure and publicity if your nominee is elected. They are not used in the selection process.
