Nomination and Selection Procedures

Any member of NGAGA may nominate any individual or entity to receive this award. The Georgia NGAGA Certificate of Appreciation is usually presented more than once annually. This award may also be used for other purposes to provide recognition by NGAGA for service rendered and may be presented at any time. However, if in the view of the Awards Committee that an individual or entity should be recognized more than once in a calendar year, the committee may deem that only one award will be given.
