- Take into account the DOF resources and records of past guidelines, recipients, and committee service for each award.
- Using the college-specific selection committee recruiting request below, identify and secure commitments from the appropriate people in your college.
- Endeavor to identify committee members other than those who have recently served on these committees.
- Do not ask any single person to serve on more than one committee in a year.
- Avoid recruiting only recent recipients of awards to serve on these committees.
- If all selection committee openings are filled with previous winners this would likely result in more biased, and less inclusive, visions for who can win the award.
- Put forward committee members who are appropriate to serve on each specific award committee, with respect to the eligibility criteria and timeline provided.
- Communicate the value you place on this service for the college.
