Evaluation Criteria
- The nominations will be judged by a committee appointed by the Regional Director or his/her designee Regional Student Activities Chair (RSAC).
- This Regional Committee will be responsible for establishing guidelines for judging, while maintaining fairness, objectivity, and high standards.

- – Accomplishments of the volunteer at a Student Branch, Section or Regional Level
- – Efforts to ease the continuity of activities and initiatives
- – Unique Contributions and Initiatives
