Nomination Guidelines:
- There is no minimum or maximum number of individuals who may be selected by the jury for elevation to the Council of Fellows each year.
- There is no limit to the number of individuals a chapter, the Council of Fellows executive committee, or the ASLA executive committee may nominate each year and nominating more or fewer individuals does not affect the outcome.
- Nominees do not compete with each other for selection. Selection is based solely on professional excellence and outstanding accomplishments as presented in the nominations.
- An individual may be nominated in up to two categories, but two separate nominations must be submitted, one for each category.
- Chapters must adhere to the national eligibility requirements when selecting individuals to nominate and may not impose additional requirements upon potential nominees, such as requiring they be licensed or currently active in the chapter.

- A member may only be nominated for three consecutive years. If not selected during that period, a two-year break is required before the member may be nominated again.
- An initial screening of nomination materials is performed upon receipt at ASLA headquarters. This first review ensures that all eligibility criteria had been followed and all submission requirements have been met. Any submission packets not meeting the criteria or requirements will not be considered by the jury.
