A cleaner nomination cycle
A structured form replaces scattered emails with consistent candidate, position, consent, and qualification details.
Collect membership status, term limits, and relevant experience so administrators can flag records needing follow-up.
Confirm that the candidate is willing to be considered, or route the record for follow-up.
Keep statements, preferences, disclosures, and attachments together in each submission.
Flexible nomination paths
Adjust questions and routing to match who can submit and how your organization fills seats.
Members recommend another person and explain their relationship, qualifications, and expected contribution.
Candidates submit their interest, experience, availability, preferences, and commitment acknowledgment.
Dropdowns and conditional questions let one intake cover several seats without mixing records.
Notify the coordinator and route missing consent, documents, or eligibility details for follow-up.
Build and open nominations
Turn your rules into a focused intake, check the language, and share one link.
Specify who may nominate, open positions, review criteria, self-nomination rules, and the deadline.
Add committee names, term expectations, word guidance, disclosures, consent routing, and your notices.
Test peer and self-nomination paths, required questions, uploads, and confirmation on phone and desktop.
Publish one link, notify the coordinator, and route structured responses to the panel's workspace.
Form vs email vs document
Reviewers need consistent information about candidate fit, consent, availability, and supporting materials.
Field guide
Use these six sections as a checklist, keeping every question relevant to the role and review.
Nominator
Collect enough information to confirm who may submit and ask follow-up questions. Treat anonymous nominations as a deliberate policy choice.
Candidate profile
Ask for a name and reliable contacts. A member ID or chapter helps distinguish similar names.
Position choice
Use controlled committee choices. Conditional fields can reveal position-specific questions after a role is selected.
Qualifications
Request concise experience or service connected to the committee's work. Word guidance keeps submissions comparable.
Consent and disclosures
Record consent and understanding of the term. Ask only for disclosures the review process needs.
Review routing
Use tags to separate complete nominations from records awaiting consent. Submission does not mean selection.

Practical answers for administrators preparing a fair, organized nomination window.
A committee nomination form lets members recommend candidates for open positions. It records the nominator, candidate, role, experience, recommendation, availability, consent, and supporting documents for the organization's review process.
Include nominator and candidate contacts, position choice, their relationship, relevant qualifications, a concise recommendation, availability, consent, and applicable conflict disclosures. Add IDs, chapter, résumé, or alternate preference only when reviewers need them.
Yes. Start with a peer or self-nomination choice. Conditional logic can show relationship and consent questions to peers, while self-nominees see interest and commitment questions. Tag both paths by nomination type.
Ask whether the candidate agreed to nomination and contact. If nominations may arrive before consent, tag them for follow-up. Explain who will contact candidates, what service involves, and how they can decline.
Yes. Offer committee and alternate-choice fields, or require one submission per candidate-position pair when criteria differ. Conditional sections display role-specific questions, while duplicate instructions prevent repeated recommendations from becoming duplicate candidates.
Use required fields, then tag records as consent confirmed, needs follow-up, or ready for review. Notify the coordinator and sort a connected sheet by committee, position, chapter, or status.
Yes. Makeform provides unlimited free form creation and unlimited free responses. Generate, edit, publish, and share without a response cap. The paid tier only removes the Makeform badge.
No. The form collects information; it does not select, elect, approve, or appoint anyone. Say nomination received rather than implying an outcome, then follow your organization's established review procedures.
