We are currently seeking volunteers to serve on the Awards Committee. Committee members review the dossiers of those nominated and rate them on a provided evaluation rubric. 
 
Requirements: 
Volunteers should have a background in integrating technology into instruction. 
 
Number of hours committed varies depending on the number of nominations received, generally 2-3 hours.

Nomination materials are posted on the Awards Community for committee members to access, along with a rubric. Deadlines will be set by the committee chair and passed along to the committee.
