Nomination

The only way in is someone else.

Winner’s Circle does not take applications. If you know someone the room would be better for having, this is where you say so.

Put a name forward

Nomination received. Every one is read; not every one becomes an invitation.

Preview site — this form is not connected to anything yet and nothing you enter is stored or sent.

What happens next

Every nomination is read

By a person, in full. The paragraph about what someone would bring to the table carries more weight than anything else on the form.

Most do not become invitations

Not a judgement on the person. A given evening has fifteen seats and a subject, and timing decides more of this than merit does.

Nothing is public

The person you nominate is not contacted, told, or added to anything unless an invitation is actually going out.

Nominating yourself

Allowed, and it happens. It is simply harder, because the case has to be made without anyone at the table already making it for you.
