Nominations in each area are reviewed and voted upon by sub-committees composed of a small group of ATHE members. The two Career Achievement Awards are reviewed and voted upon by the Chairs of the Sub-committees and one representative from the Focus Groups. The Awards are presented in a ceremony at the annual national conference each year.
