What is involved? The Review Team reviews the previous year’s Overview and Nomination Packet documents during January and February, making suggestions on improvements, suggestions on how to market the awards to encourage more participation, and to make suggestions on how to simplify the nomination process. Any meetings are via Microsoft Teams. Award nominations are accepted during the April – August time frame; there is no Review Team meetings or duties during the nomination period. However, during the last two weeks of August, Review Team members are asked to review and rate nominations. The nomination reviews can take 30-45 minutes per nomination; total time involved for nomination review will depend on the number of nominations received. After the 2023 Prevention Summit and Awards Ceremony, the Review Team may be asked to review the process and make suggestions for improvement.

Want to be on the team? Martha Williams will be putting the 2023 Review Team together by January 5, 2023. She is looking for 5 – 6 Prevention Professionals of varying prevention experience levels to join the Team. Please contact her by email at Martha.williams@hca.wa.gov.
