  2. Positions on the SIM Board (each term counts as one activity)
    2. Active participation on a committee (could be but not limited to Committee Chair position or Member of the Committee; each year of participation counts as an activity)

Nomination:

The DFW Chapter Fellows nomination form must be submitted to a current Chapter Fellow on or before June 30th of each calendar year. The nomination of any given member must be submitted by a peer chapter member as self-nominations are not permitted.

For all nominations that meet the consideration criteria, the nominee goes through two separate vetting processes: one by the Executive Officers of the chapter and another by the Chapter’s Fellows. Each vetting and voting process is separate and confidential from the other and creates a “checks and balances” structure. Only those nominees passing both processes will become a Chapter Fellow.

The Chapter Fellows will be happy to answer any questions you may have and will receive nomination forms.
