How does the Fellows nomination process work?
Nominations are forwarded to section and focus group committees. They review the candidates affiliated with their group and submit to the Union Fellows committee the names of those who, in their judgment, are their best candidates from among those nominations. They are permitted to submit up to 0.2 percent of the membership of the group they represent. Thus, the Union Fellows committee receives twice the number to be elected for them to review, consider carefully, and make the decisions. They are supplied the section and focus group rankings, all of the information that the first committee was given, and any further information that the section or focus group committee has provided.
Nominations are forwarded to Section and Focus Group Fellows committees based on the nominee’s primary affiliation and any affiliations selected by the nominator. Committees review their respective candidates and submit to the Union Fellows Selection Committee the names of those who, in their judgment, are their best candidates from among those nominations. They are permitted to submit up to 0.2 percent of the membership of the group they represent. Thus, the Union Fellows Selection Committee receives twice the number to be elected to review, consider carefully, and make a final decision. They are supplied with the Section and Focus Group Fellows committees’ nominee rankings; recommendations from each Section and Focus Group Fellows Committee, and detailed information about each ranked nominee.
