Things to remember as you nominate your outstanding volunteers:

• Read the Tip Sheet provided by the Governor’s Volunteer office carefully. These guidelines will enable your nominee(s) to have fair and accurate consideration by the reviewers. 

• Take a look at this Sample Nomination Description to see what your submitted nomination form should include. 

• The Narrative statement is EXTREMELY important! Please be specific and detailed about your volunteer’s impact to your organization. More details can be found on the Nomination Form. 
• Multiple nominations are allowed
• Only nominate one person for each Special Volunteer TYPE – strongly encouraged so your volunteers are not competing against each other within that category (Ex. nominate one Youth, one Senior, one Group/Team, etc.)

• Consider nominating your corporate volunteers! This is a terrific way to not only recognize them, but it builds a stronger relationship that can also result in increased volunteers and even financial support. 

• Consider also nominating your Board members-This is a very meaningful way to acknowledge their leadership and support 

• Use this helpful checklist to make sure you’ve got everything you need.
