Judging criteria for the annual representative and officers awards

Judging criteria for the representative and officers awards 

Nominations will be judged against the criteria listed below. Nominations do not have to address all the criteria, but the more evidence and examples you can provide, the better chance nominees have of being recognised by the judging panel.

Nominations for Executive members will not be accepted for these awards. Executive members can submit nominations for these awards, but they should not carry more weight.  Executive members should support other members, reps and local officers to submit nominations. Joint winners from different workplaces will not be permitted.
