For senior awards, supporters do not write traditional letters of recommendation. The committee may contact them directly via email with a small set of questions. The intention is that these will benefit from concise answers, on the order of a paragraph or two. When inviting someone to serve as a supporter, nominators can reassure them that the time burden is expected to be quite modest if and when the committee reaches out. Whether the committee does so is not indicative of the strength or potential success of the nominee. The committee may also gather additional information from sources beyond the supporters suggested by the nominator.
