FAQ:
What is the nomination process and the steps to take?
Once the online nomination form is completed an automated email will be sent to the individual nominated (the email address entered in the “Nominee Email” field) and a submission receipt will be sent to the email placed in the “Nominator’s Email” field.
In order for the nominee to continue with the process they must fill out the application form by the application deadline listed in the automated email and on the corresponding event landing page.
We also recommend submitting up to three letters of recommendation to libn.com/letters-of-recommendation-submission-form by the application deadline to be included in the nominee’s judging packet as supporting materials. This is not a requirement, but an added benefit.
How can I or my organization be considered for Business & Finance or Leadership in Law Award?
While anyone can nominate, we recommend nominations come from a senior leader in the organization. It is then required that the nominee go through the entire application process, please see above response for more details on that.
What are the judges looking for when selecting the Business & Finance honorees?
It is essential that the candidate is a professional in the financial sector; they should consistently demonstrate unwavering integrity and commitment to community, and show proven dedication to charitable efforts across Long Island. It is helpful to have at least one letter of recommendation from someone that can speak to this.
