Nominations for Vocational Excellence Awards may be made at the District and the Club level.
Nomination Guidelines - adapted from the D9705 website
1. Nominations will be accepted from Rotary Clubs in District 9705.

panel, priority will be given to the non-Rotarian.
3. A nominee must be either an Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia.
4. Nominees should preferably reside and/or carry out their vocation within the boundaries of District 9705
5. It needs to be shown that a nominee has a commitment to high ethical standards and a record of outstanding direct achievement in their chosen vocation which has been to the advancement of that vocation and the nation.
6. Excellence in Community Service does not come under the conditions of this Award. Vocational Excellence must be evident in the direct activity and /or contribution by the individual or individuals nominated and not merely occur within an organisation managed by the individual.

of the nominees would lower the prestige of the Award.
