Educator Award.

Nomination Information pamphlet via U.S. mail. We used e-mail as the
primary means of communication. After each committee member reviewed the
nominations, he e-mailed me his vote for each category. The votes for
the DOW and Outstanding Teaching Awards were unanimous. The vote for the
Outstanding Community College Educator Award split: 3 for Bob Stevenson
and 1 for Keith Level (Irvin Drew participated in this vote and provided
his input via the phone).
