A copy of APEX's Statement of Principles can be obtained here . The person you nominate does not have to be an APEX member or someone you work with directly, but you clearly have to know enough of their work to make your nomination credible. Nominations must be supported by at least one APEX member. If you're not a member of the Association but want to participate in this process, we will accept your nomination if it has the support of an APEX member. Be sure to include your name and those of your co-nominators and tell us how to reach you.
Nominations are confidential.
The selection committees include the APEX President, the Awards Committee Chairperson, a Departmental Representative, a regional representative, the immediate past recipient and the APEX Executive Director.
