National Association of Legislative Fiscal Offices

Legislative Staff Achievement Awards

Call for Nominations

The National Association of Legislative Fiscal Offices (NALFO) is inviting nominations for the NCSL annual Legislative Staff Achievement Awards.  Each NCSL staff section may give up to two awards to recognize outstanding legislative staff.  These nominations can be for individuals, project teams or entire offices.  The awards will be presented at the 2008 NCSL Annual Meeting in New Orleans.

A letter of nomination, accompanied by appropriate supporting materials, should describe and document how the nominee has met one or more of the criteria noted below.  A panel of NALFO officers will review the nominations based only upon the materials received, therefore the submission of examples and sufficient documentation to assess a nominee’s contributions is imperative.

1. The nominee has made a significant contribution to the resolution of a fiscal or public policy issue before the state legislature.        
2. The nominee, over time, has consistently demonstrated a high degree of professionalism and excellence in a body of work or career that warrants special recognition. 
3. The nominee has made other unique contributions in promoting and developing the role of legislative fiscal staff assistance in the legislative process.

Nominees may be nominated only by colleagues.  Nominations need to be received by Friday, May 23, 2008.  Award recipients will be notified by June 1, 2008.  All materials should be sent to:
