Applications are due December 15th!
We all know someone who fits the bill – a leader who embodies the four strategic objectives. They advocate for your Chapter, for your members, and for nuclear in the community. And keep in mind that they don’t have to be senior leader in your organization!
You might be overwhelmed by the 500 words the application asks for. As an engineer I can relate; it’s sometimes difficult to get the words to flow – like now trying to write this article. What does 500 words look like? A 500-word count will create about 1 page with single spacing or 2 pages double-spaced when using normal 1-inch margins, 12 pt. Arial font, and a standard A4 (letter size) page size. So where to start?
Think about the organization needed to show the committee how the nominee meets the strategic objectives. Start by introducing the nominee to the committee. How did they get started in your Chapter? Are they active at the National level?
Next, write out the four strategic objective bullet points and start filling in short-word examples of how the nominee has demonstrated the objective. Once you have a list of examples, you can circle back and expand on the details.
Close by pulling it all together. We love hearing about how the nominee’s actions have impacted the nominators and their Chapter. Reach out to other members to help fill in any sparse areas. If you’ve felt the nominee’s impact, then surely others have too.
Gather all the information together and submit the application by December 15th. The committee looks forward to reading about your awesome Leader. And we look forward to the difficult task of selecting just one as the new WINner.
