IMPORTANT NOTE TO THE NOMINEE:

As you consider accepting your nomination for the AXA, please bear in mind that the award not only recognizes your achievements but (more importantly) also serves to inspire other alumnae and motivate them to strive for their very best.  Unlike other awards, AXA is not a competition among alumnae. We request a description of your achievements to allow us to determine that they meet the AXA criteria.
