Tips for Nominations

Nominees can be from any segment of the industry, whether a school district, contractor, supplier, OEM, association, or something else. We’re looking for exemplary young leaders who are making waves, championing the industry, and showing initiative and innovation to make K-12 transportation safe, efficient, and reliable.
Self-nominations are eligible.
Multiple nominations for the same person are allowed, but quantity will have no bearing on the decision. The selection process assesses the individual strength and story of each nominee. We prefer one comprehensive submission!
Start early and take your time filling out the nomination form. Present a compelling narrative about the nominee. The more we know about them, the better. We recommend gathering permission and a quote or letter from the nominee’s supervisor.
