NOTES FROM THE EES AWARDS COMMITTEE You do not need nomination letters. Just list the reasons you are nominating someone. You have two choices in completing the nomination form. Print out the form and complete it by typing or hand printing. Fill in the form using Microsoft Word and then print it out. If you print out the form for completion and need more space, just add another sheet with additional information. We have one guideline for hand printed forms: If we can’t read it, we can’t evaluate it. Please submit only one application per person. If more than one person wants to add reasons that this employee should win the award, just add those reasons to your form. If two or more forms are received for the same person, the Committee will consider the first form received. Example for Question 2: What new processes has the nominee implemented that have resulted in significant improvement in service, productivity, and/or cost savings? You could begin your answer with verbs like these. Created … Organized… Implemented… Modified… Expanded… Computerized… Added… Reduced… Monitored…
