Speakers will discuss their insights into many of the aspects of the process, including selecting an award category, preparing the submission, and what the judges look for in the review process.
Topics will include choosing the programs to nominate; the reviewer’s perspective of the nomination review; and how awards benefit labs and agencies. This information will be useful for attendees who plan to submit for the 2021 FLC regional awards.
