Becoming Award Ready
WCC continues to support efforts to increase the quantity, quality, and diversity of ACS National Awards nominations.
This free webinar covered what nominees and nominators need to know to prepare a successful nomination package:
- What the nomination and selection processes entail
- How to better prepare for the creation of competitive nomination packages
- How to conduct nomination and selections processes with the same professionalism used for publications and other scholarly endeavors
- How to invest efforts to prepare potential nominees, as well as nominators and canvassing committees, and expand the pool
- Why we must make efforts to minimize inherent bias throughout the nomination and selection processes
The webinar was based on:
