Sample Email Templates

Below are email templates that can be used to notify nominators of regrets or awards. 

If you draft your own emails, please make sure they include the following.

 

 For regrets:

  • Inform them of the name of the nominated award.
  • Clearly state that their nomination was not selected as the award recipient.
  • Include feedback (optional, up to Subcommittee Chair)

For awarded recipients:

  • Email both the nominator and the award recipient.
  • Inform them of the name of the award.
  • Let them know they’ll be honored at the Annual Meeting and ask if they will be attending in person.
  • Ask them to confirm their contact information, preferred name and pronouns, and designate a primary contact (if a group wins).
  • Ask them not to make any official announcements until SAA’s news releases are published.
