Note to Chapter Presidents
Dear Chapter President:
One of the most critical roles you play as your chapter’s president is the duty of gathering feedback and casting your chapter’s annual ballot for national and regional recognition awards in addition to voting for national leadership positions. Our organization prides itself as having a quality peer reviewed award system that recognizes excellence. For ESP Awards to continue to maintain their prestige in the academic community, every chapter must participate by both submitting applications and participating in the voting process. Every year states submit an outstanding slate of state award winners for additional recognition, now it is time to select our regional and national winners.
Please make sure your state fulfills its obligation by submitting your official state ballot by May 15 of each year.
You are welcome to share this information and links with anyone in your state that is helping your chapter evaluate awards and candidates. The actual Chapter ballot may be submitted online by any ESP member. Just remember that only one ballot per state should be submitted. Don’t worry about someone voting inappropriately because you shared this information, if multiple ballots are submitted we will only accept the ballot of the president.
Ballots are confidential. Each chapter ballot is weighted by the number of chapter delegates (based on total membership).
