Hi MEEOA, It is time to send in your nominations for MEEOA Achiever and MEEOA Rising Star awards so that we can honor these special alumni at our upcoming Annual Conference in January. And, I am excited to announce that we have a new award for a MEEOA Lifelong Learner which will be awarded to a former or current participant who demonstrates excellence, resilience, and longevity in their educational journey. More information about each of these awards is attached. In addition to a new award, we have a new online nomination form. You will still need to provide a nomination letter, the candidate's written statement, a 1-2 page resume or statement, and a digital photo, but instead of scanning and sending or snail-mailing them, you will just upload them to the online application. The link to complete the application is here <https://forms.gle/m8yvTSTL9MrZZnMQ8> and also on the award descriptions and the website. The deadline for getting in your nominations is November 30. I know it seems like a very short turn-around, but I'm hoping the online form will make it a little easier for you. Please reach out if you have questions, need more information, or have any troubles with the form. I look forward to seeing your nominations!
