Nomination selection
Each year various members of the Department of Facilities, representing many different areas, will be asked to serve on the Selection Committee to review the nominations for eligibility against the established criteria and to select the winners. No member of the Selection Committee will be eligible to receive an Infinite Mile Award during that award year. If a member of the Selection Committee receives a nomination he or she will be excused from the selection process.
