The award committee shall forward the nomination forms and supporting documentation for the three recommended award recipients to the NHSPE Board of Directors for NHSPE Board approval. NHSPE shall notify award recipients on behalf of the Sponsoring Organizations. NHSPE shall also send a letter to each nominee offering congratulations on their nomination for this statewide award. |
