The Fellowship Committee is responsible for maintaining the criteria for the Unified Route and reviewing a selection of approved applications, to ensure quality control and consistency amongst adjudication groups.

If you wish to put forward a nomination, please complete and return the nomination form, which the nominee should verify.  The nominee should also provide a supporting statement of not more than 250 words by no later than 12 noon, Friday 15 August 2008.
