Scoring Criteria

Nominees are judged based on three criteria, equally weighted and averaged together to calculate their overall score. Weighting is executed by a computerized scoring system and not by judges’ determination. Judges may abstain from judging a category or a nominee if they believe there is a conflict of interest. Judges provide their unbiased assessment on each candidate.

Judges look for the following elements while reviewing nominees:

• Thoughtfulness of the application
• Insights into the industry
• Introspective reflections and considerations
• Demonstrated impact
• Does the candidate seem to focus on putting clients’ interests above their own?
• Does the candidate appear to have high standards and values?
• Does leadership see true potential in the candidate?
