Submitting a nomination

• Review the award descriptions and think about people you've worked with that fit the criteria.
• Click here to submit a nomination.
• For all awards, the committee is looking for people who have gone significantly above and beyond expectations. Keep this in mind when writing the nomination. When possible, provide specific examples of when the nominee went above and beyond. The more thorough the nomination, the more information the committee has to help make their decision.
• Review past award winners for examples if needed.

Awards are announced during the Annual CSEA Business Meeting at the Global Conference.
