More specifically, nominations can be made in several categories, including

State Official of the Year

Entries will be accepted until November 12, 2004.

Nominations will be judged by a panel made up of SLGA Committee members, executive officers and government affairs professionals from state and local associations, and honorees will be recognized at a special awards breakfast held in conjunction with the International Builders' Show in Orlando.
