The award is open to all DOM faculty and will be awarded according to faculty level (i.e. one award will be given to a faculty at the Instructor/Assistant Professor level, and another to a faculty at the Associate Professor/Professor level).
Nominees should be DOM faculty members who have demonstrated transformational leadership qualities as a sponsor, mentor, or collaborator, or who have challenged, motivated, or inspired others to advance their career.

Letters of nomination should also be accompanied by one (for instructor/assistant level) to two (for associate level and above) letters of support.
