2. A Special Note

   Those who prepare a document in support of a nomination should keep in mind a number of factors.

   1. The committee, when making the decision as to whom will receive the award, is usually limited to the contents of the support documents as its sole source of information and as measured against the listed criteria.

   2. It takes a carefully prepared and complete document to effectively portray a positive image of the nominee. It can reflect how he or she is viewed by colleagues.

   3. This award seeks to recognize those who go beyond local or regional limits to contribute on a national or international level to advancing the profession of environmental health. More and more, judges are looking for impacts and results that occur outside local or state boundaries.

   4. The judges, all former Mangold winners, look for quality, information on how the nominee impacts those around him or her, and how he or she contributes in valuable ways to improving environmental health.

   5. Weight and volume by itself is not necessarily persuasive.

   6. The award recipient will treasure the support document as much or more than the plaque.
