What is the nomination process and the steps to take?
Once the online nomination form is completed an automated email will be sent to the individual nominated (the email address entered in the “Nominee Email” field) and a submission receipt will be sent to the email placed in the “Nominator’s Email” field.
In order for the nominee to continue with the process they must fill out the application form by the application deadline listed in the automated email and on the corresponding event landing page.
We also recommend submitting up to three letters of recommendation to https://rbj.net/letters-of-recommendation-submission-form/ by the application deadline to be included in the nominee’s judging packet as supporting materials. This is not a requirement, but an added benefit.
Nominee must be employed in one of the following counties: Monroe, Ontario, Genesee, Livingston, Orleans and/or Wayne.
How can I or my organization be considered for the Leaders in Construction & Real Estate award?
While anyone can nominate, we recommend nominations come from a senior leader in the organization. It is then required that the nominee go through the entire application process, please see above response for more details on that. There are several categories to recognize individuals and organizations for this award, please see our Categories page to learn more.
What are the judges looking for when selecting the Leaders in Construction & Real Estate honorees?
It is essential that the candidate or organization has made a significant impact on changing the landscape of the Rochester region through design, construction, project management, lending, innovation and more. It is helpful to have at least one letter of recommendation from someone that can speak to this.
Can I save the nomination or application forms while I’m working on them?
Unfortunately, at this time you cannot, but we’re working to fix that. In the meantime, we suggest either filling out the forms on a separate sheet of paper and/Word Doc first or be prepared to spend some time in the form.
