1. Service to IEEE at the Region level (This is the primary criteria for consideration for this award.)
2. Service to IEEE at the Institute, Area, Council, Section, Subsection, Chapter, and Student Branch levels
3. Service to the electrotechnology profession in professional and technical organizations other than IEEE

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE DANIEL W. JACKSON AWARD NOMINATION FORM
NOTE: Refer to the "General Guidelines" portion of this section for important instructions regarding the completion of this nomination package. Specific Instructions:
1. Nominee's name as it should appear on the award
2. IEEE membership number and grade, year joined IEEE, year awarded current grade, and Region3 residence information
3. Nominee's current professional or occupation affiliation (government agency, corporation, or academic institution) and title

8. Nominator's suggested citation, which will appear on the award and in publicity releases. Be concise, but ensure that the citation reflects the award criteria and the nominee's specific achievement(s).
9. Nominator's name, IEEE membership number and grade, address, residence and business telephone numbers, e-mail address, and current IEEE position
10. List primary service to this Region. Be concise, but clearly state why the nominee is deserving of this award. Emphasize contributions, which went beyond the duties of the particular offices held.
11. List all service to or on behalf of the Region, including dates associated with each elected or appointed office held.

Remember that this award recognizes service, with particular emphasis placed on contributions made at the Region level. Region-level involvement might include activity as an elected or appointed member of the Region 3 Executive Committee or as its representative to other boards or committees. There also may have been work on a particular project, which benefited the Region and its members. Considered with much lesser weight are contributions made at other levels of IEEE and to other technical, professional, community, and civic organizations. To assist the nominator, the evaluation form used to rank candidates for the Region 3 Dan Jackson Exemplary Past Director Award is included in this manual following the nomination form.
When describing accomplishments at any level, details of the significance of the activity is most important. Simple lists of positions held do not fully explain the nominee's contributions.
(Examples of contributions rather than merely positions held might be that the nominee developed an innovative project that had a profound impact on the Region and its members by providing employment services or enhanced marketing of members professional resources, that a new conference could be termed ground breaking for some reason or another, or that new ideas resulted in enhanced operation of the Region or reduced financial risk. An appointment at the Board level to represent Region 3 could have had a positive influence on the services offered to our members or resulted in an improved way of doing business. The emphasis should be on how the contributions of the nominee should be recognized as an exemplary service to the members of Region 3).
