A member of the committee may be nominated for this award, but will be excused from the decision making process for that year and a temporary replacement will join the committee in place of the nominee. Members of the Service Committee may make nominations for the award unless they chair the committee, act as ex-officio for the committee, or serve on the Awards Sub-committee.
