NACUE is getting ready to hand out this year’s NACUE Society Awards.
If you have a few minutes to spare, we’d really appreciate it if you could take the time an answer a few questions and nominate us for the different awards that are up for grabs. It honestly won’t take more than 10 minutes and it will allow us to become even bigger and better next year!
You can find the nominations page here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MW68HRH
Thanks!
