Nominations are now open. Submissions must be made no later than 11/01/11.

Step 1: Please read, complete and submit the online application and submit fee no later than 11/01/11.

Candidates will receive confirmation e-mail once the application has been successfully processed.

Nominees must be prepared to describe in a phone interview a case study example of a recent client engagement that illustrates how the client demonstrated in a world-class manner the key behaviors of a Client of Choice based on the Client Advisor Awards criteria.

Step 2: A Client Advisor Awards representative will contact the key representative of the professional services firm nominating the client to schedule and conduct a confidential telephone interview. Prior to that interview, we will send a list of interview questions so that you can review prior to our scheduled call.

Step 3: If the nominee is selected as a finalist, we will perform a confidential interview with the client that is the subject of the Awards application.

Note: In the event that the pool of nominees for either Clients or Advisors is deemed by event judges to be insufficient in size or quality, we reserve the right to reach out directly into the community of clients and advisors to assess potential Award winning organizations by the same criteria used to evaluate submitted nominees and to potentially select winner(s) from this broadened pool of candidates. Winners in all categories of the Client-Advisor Awards are chosen by the official Client Advisor Awards Selection Committee, which may consist of past winners and other Atlanta business leaders. Applicants are judged on their completed application and support materials. All applications are thoroughly reviewed, and up to four finalists are selected from each category. All finalists must attend the ceremony and the Client Advisor Summit event.
