Please note that the nominee must have been a resident of Nevada during the period for which the accomplishments are being recognized.

The criteria for nominations are as follows:

For all of the above categories, list the positions of employment or offices held within specific organizations during the period for which the nominee's performance is being recognized. Develop a chronological listing starting with the most current time period.
