Tips for Nominating SLA Members for Awards and Recognition:
- Write applications with each specific award's eligibility in mind. Each nominee will be rated on the criteria for the award category.
- If you wish to nominate in more than one category, attach a separate application for each award, addressing the criteria for that award, including activities, accomplishments, and contributions which demonstrate the specific criteria for that award.
- Explain, where applicable, the specific results and impact of the nominee's efforts that strengthen the case for that award. Include details such as dates and locations and performance metrics if available. Avoid generalities such as "made documents easy to find," explain with examples, details, even testimonials.
- Attach the nominee's bio or resume. Attach relevant supporting documents, including: articles, other commendations, or previous awards and recognition they have received.
- Please include letters of support which demonstrate the nominee's qualifications, accomplishments, or impact on the association or profession
- Joint nominations are welcome. Try to coordinate to avoid duplication of content.
Things to Avoid:
- Sending a list of accomplishments or a resume with no supporting materials or cover letter detailing exactly why that nominee should receive a particular award.
Physical mail is accepted. Please make the format of your nomination as consistent with this format as possible. Nominations for all SLA Awards & Honors should be submitted via the online forms or mailed to:
