a description of any projects that the nominee has initiated and successfully completed
and letters of support and endorsement. Letters of endorsement from others should provide
additional evidence of the worthiness of the nominee. The number of letters of endorsement
received for a nominee shall not be a determining factor in the selection process; rather,
