17 How can you help? Pursue excellence!
Consider what awards you may be eligible for, and let your Chair /departmental awards committee / colleagues know. Don’t be bashful – leaders need help too. Be cognizant of deadlines - the nomination package for many awards requires letters of support. These may take months to prepare. Be aware of others, and know what awards they may be eligible for.
