Applicants’ nomination forms must demonstrate that the owner or lender of a specific construction project was persuaded to require surety bonds due to the candidate’s personal efforts or influence. The applicant must include details of how he or she convinced the owner or lender to require a bond, along with documentation from the owner or lender on official letterhead, verifying the candidate’s role in persuading the owner or lender. This letter may be submitted by e-mail to Seth Johnson of SFAA at sjohnson@surety.org. Completed applications must be submitted by February 17, 2020.

Nominations may be made by the person seeking the Tiger Trust or from another party familiar with the facts of the situation. Also, entries without signed letters from the project owner/lender confirming the nominee’s role in persuading them to use a bond will be considered incomplete and will not be judged. Project owner letters must be received no later than February 17, 2020.
