Review Criteria

Completed applications will be peer-reviewed by volunteers as well as ASID Headquarters staff. The review process will be blind. Names and key identifying information will not be shared with the jury. Applications will be scored in two groups.

FY26 VOLUNTEER LEADERSHIP ROLE REVIEW

Completed applications will be reviewed by a team including the FY25 National Committee Chair, Chair-Elect, National Board Liaison, and Staff Liaison(s). The team will make their recommendation for the FY26 National Committee Chair-Elect that the FY26 ASID National Board Chair will approve.

Applications will be scored using a series of Likert Scale questions. Likert Scale scoring goes from highest point value for most qualified for the criterion to lowest point value for least or not qualified. An aggregate score will be calculated for each applicant.
