NOMINATION REQUIREMENTS

All full-time instructors at ICCTA member colleges are eligible to participate in the Outstanding Full-Time Faculty Member Award program. Nominations must be submitted by the board of trustees of an ICCTA member college. Each ICCTA member college is eligible to nominate one full-time faculty member per year. Posthumous nominations are not eligible for submission.

In order for a nomination to be considered, all of the following items must be included in the nomination packet. The total length must not exceed 6 pages:

▪ A letter of support from the college board of trustees

▪ A completed ICCTA nomination form (a response covering each question is required)

▪ A brief self-statement of 250 words of less describing the nominee’s philosophy of education

(special attention will be given to the use of correct grammar and punctuation, and to the

In addition, the nomination must include a narrative statement (not to exceed 150 words) that explains the nominee’s qualifications and is suitable for use in ICCTA publicity materials. This is not included in the 6-page nomination packet, but it is required for a nomination to be considered.

Because the names of many deserving nominees are received each year, boards of trustees are encouraged to re-submit the names and qualifications of former nominees for consideration.
