This award will serve as a catalyst for nomination to the Grand Presidents Award for Professional Achievement.
The award will be presented at the annual awards presentation. The Board of Directors will serve as the selection committee and will administer the selection and nomination process. Nominees may either be self nominated or nominated by another.
