CHECKLIST

Generally, one individual serves as the nomination organizer for the nomination and completes this form, writes one of the letters nominating the individual, procures nominee's vita (condenses to 5-page limit as necessary), and contacts individuals to write additional letters of support.

The nomination can be submitted in one of two ways:


(1) all letters of support are sent to organizer, who compiles the three components in one package and mails to the AHA, or

(2) organizer mails cover sheet, vita, and his/her letter of support to AHA, directs writers of additional letters of support to mail directly to the Association, and follows up with writers prior to the deadline to ensure letters were completed and mailed.

To ensure completeness of nomination and timeliness of submission of all components, the Award Committee prefers the first method of submission.

INDICATE METHOD OF SUBMISSION BELOW.
