Email the complete application package in one Word or PDF file to RMPEx.
- Site Visit: A site visit is conducted as the final step in the evaluation process. Site visits are required of all award applicants at the Foothills, Timberline, and Peak level. The applicant must agree before submitting an application to pay site visit fees, lodging and on-site meal expenses for examiners on the site visit.
- Receive and Review Confidential Feedback Report: When the feedback report is received, your team should review the report for strengths and opportunities for improvement and fold these into action planning for the next year.
