Content

This application is designed to give considerable flexibility for your organization to tell its management story.  In formulating responses, bear in mind that the awards competition focuses on management (including program management), as opposed to program content.  Discussion of program content should be minimal, and only in explaining your excellent management practices.  It is also expected that applications will reflect management results, not only process. What has improved in your organization's operations or progress toward achieving its mission as a result of this exemplary management practice?

Page Requirements

Both paper and online applications will be accepted.  Your Part One paper application addressing questions 1 through 9 (see pages 5 and 6) should be no more than a total of six (6) pages.  Please submit only one copy of the application form.  Paper submissions must be typed single-spaced with no less than 1/2 inch margins.  The text must be a minimum 11-point size in Times New Roman font.   You do not have to repeat the question, but each question must be clearly numbered.  Applications not meeting these margin and font size requirements will not be considered.  Materials submitted by mail should be sent to the address below.
