A recommendation for an award may be submitted by any member of the College, in good standing with the AOCOO-HNS, having knowledge of an act, achievement, or service of another member or candidate in training which may warrant such award.
Timely recommendation is essential to a successful awards system. A recommendation must be submitted as soon as possible following the act, achievement, or service upon which it is based. All recommendations must be appropriately justified and sufficiently detailed to allow proper evaluation and decision.
