Award Recipient Selection Process

  1. Any District 58 Toastmaster in good standing may submit a nomination for the award. Only nominations submitted by Toastmasters in District 58 will be considered.
  2. Nominations must be made in writing on the Nomination Form, or a similar format, providing reasons why the nominee should be considered for the award.
  3. Nominations must be submitted to the Communication & Leadership Award Chair by the published nominations due date. Or, if the Toastmaster making the nominations chooses, he/she may personally present the written nomination to the entire Executive Committee and the Communication & Leadership Award Chair by the nominations due date. This date will be set sufficiently early to allow the Executive Committee to review all nominations and to reach a decision as to the award recipient at least four weeks prior to the Spring Conference.
  4. The Communication & Leadership Award Chair will send all submittals to each member of the Executive Committee after the nomination due date.
  5. The Executive Committee will consider all nominations submitted by Toastmasters in District 58 by the due date.
  6. The Executive Committee will decide which nominee, if any, is worthy of the award. The decision will be made by a majority vote of the Executive Committee at which a quorum is present. This vote may be performed via email.
  7. If a majority of the Executive Committee feels that no nominations merit the award, then no award will be made for that year.
  8. If an award is to be given, the District 58 Governor will contact the recipient, tell him/her that he/she has been chosen to receive the award, advise the recipient that he/she must make an acceptance address at the Spring or Fall Conference as a condition of receiving the award, and advise of all other pertinent details. The lunch on Saturday of the Spring or Fall Conference is the preferred time for the award. However, the award recipient and the Conference Chair may mutually agreeable upon another time during the conference.
  9. If the chosen recipient cannot make an acceptance address or cannot personally accept the award or chooses not to accept the award, then the District 58 Governor will advise the Executive Committee and they may choose to select another recipient for the award that year. If another recipient is chosen, then the District 58 Governor will contact that individual in accordance with Step #8 above.
  10. On or about the award announcement date, the District 58 Governor will announce the award recipient or announce that there will not be an award that year.

Any Toastmaster may nominate a recipient. If you wish to nominate more than one person, please submit separate entries for each individual.
