Nomination guidelines:

  • Provide a summary of why you think your colleague would be a worthy recipient of the award.
  • Make sure you address the criteria, for example, by outlining how the nominee has helped their community over and above their job description as a financial counsellor.
  • The nominated person doesn’t have to be present at the awards presentation to be eligible for their award. A proxy can accept the award on the recipient’s behalf. The FCVic office will liaise with the nominator to arrange this beforehand.
  • Nominators may attach additional pages and supporting materials to the nomination form.
  • The FCVic Board will appoint a selection panel to consider the nominee’s relative merits in accordance with the criteria for the award they are nominated for.
  • The panel will provide recommendations for the awards on a confidential basis to the FCVic Board. The awards recommended by the Panel will be considered by the Board for ratification. If a recommendation is not ratified the award will not be conferred. The Board’s decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
