How to write a compelling nomination
To ensure your nomination stands out amongst all of the other nominees submitted by the single, global BRM community, always include clear and detailed examples of what makes your nominee so exceptional. Tell a compelling story about why this person should be recognized.
- What are they doing in their BRM role?
- How are they impacting the community?
- How are they driving value within their organization?
“Show, don’t tell.”
Don’t just say they are outstanding – prove it!
Use specific and concrete examples to illustrate how your nominee meets each of the eligibility and award criteria. Provide examples of how your nominee has demonstrated outstanding character and is a deserving candidate for the honor.
Using the STAR Method helps:
