JUDGING PROCESS

1. The Management Man of the Year (MMY) Judging Committee shall serve as the Board of Judges which is tasked to choose the most deserving nominee.

3. The MMY Judging Committee shall review the materials submitted through the nomination process, and other information as may be obtained, on which basis it shall decide who should be on the shortlist of nominees for further and more thorough evaluation.

4. The MMY Judging Committee may write to the nominators or the shortlisted nominees to confirm the nominees’ willingness to go through the evaluation process, to request additional information as it may need for final evaluation, and to request a personal interview, if necessary, with the nominee, his/ her nominator and/or the references specified in the nomination form.
