What form should be completed when preparing an award recommendation?

• A. 15 MIN PRIOR
• B. 5 MIN PRIOR
• C. 30 MIN PRIOR
• D. 1 HOUR PRIOR

Answer: (A)

Completing the award recommendation form fifteen minutes prior gives you a short, practical window to verify all information, ensure required fields are filled, and secure any last-minute signatures or approvals without holding up the process. This timing keeps the data fresh and ready for review, while still leaving enough room to address minor corrections if needed.

Choosing less lead time (a few minutes) risks missing errors or missing signatures, while more lead time (thirty minutes or an hour) can lead to outdated information or unnecessary delays in the award process.
