The Judges
A panel of judges will review the nominations, vote totals and chose the top ten in each category. The role of the association management is to be sure the person is valid in a category and the votes are valid. Votes cast for the nominees count at least 75% for the final decision, the remaining 25% will be determined by comments made about the nominee on the nomination form. The Judges may be nominated, but they will not judge their category.
