Award Nominator Survey

HBA Central invites all components to set up their own volunteer award nominator surveys on their preferred free platform such as Google Forms, Microsoft Forms, or SurveyMonkey.

For HBA's year-round awards recognition, Spark and Honored Volunteer Awards, we've developed the below Nominator Template so it's as easy as possible set up your nominator. 

Please note:

  • This survey is simply to collect nominations for review. Please ensure to follow the full Award Process at-a-glance through the judging and communications/reward process for all awardees to ensure fairness and full visibility.
  • Please keep succession planning in mind when creating your nominator! Always ensure at least 2-3 team members have access to the survey (and have the ability to change administrative access) to ensure continuity should a volunteer roll off of the team.
