Preparation for Awards Voting
After the end of the business day on the third Wednesday in October, all nomination forms will be:
collected by the Chair of the Community Council
logged in and reviewed for conformance to requirements by the Chair of the Community Council and another officer of his/her selection
a letter of congratulations will be sent by the Chair of the Community Council to each accepted nominee
made available (no later than start of business on the Monday preceding the November Community Council meeting) to eligible Community Council members for review
Note: Only those Community Council members whose dues were paid by June 30 and who have met meeting attendance requirements are eligible to participate in the November awards voting.
Awards Voting
Award winners will be selected by eligible Community Council members in attendance at the November Community Council meeting. It will be the responsibility of these Council Members to review all nominations in advance of the November meeting. Voting will be by secret ballot.
Note: Each member organization and individual member will have one vote for each award. Even when representing more than one organization for reporting purposes at a Council meeting, an individual may vote only once for each award.
Ballots will be counted at the November Council meeting by the Council Chair and a fellow officer to ensure that there is no tie vote requiring a second ballot. The winner of each award will be the nominee for that award that received the highest number of votes. Results of balloting will be kept confidential and only be disclosed to those with a need to know.
After award selection is complete, nomination forms, ballots, and vote tallies will be given to the Council Secretary to be included in Council records.
Award Presentation
Award recipients will be honored regardless of the pandemic, either during a virtual community presentation or the annual Community Christmas Dinner traditionally held the first Monday in December.
