Our Awards Gala is Black Tie Optional. This means that men can feel comfortable wearing either a tuxedo or a dark suit and tie and women can feel comfortable wearing a formal floor-length gown, a cocktail dress, or even a fancy suit.
Gala Tables and Seating
Formal invitations to the Gala will arrive by mail in early September. If you have completed the online form to request gala notifications from us, or if you are a finalist, nominator, or a Dean/CNO from an award finalist's or scholarship recipient's institution, you are already on our mailing list.
There will be an RSVP card that you will complete stating how many tables you need as well as who you would like to sit at those tables. If you're not purchasing a full table, you can request to sit with others that you know, or we suggest that you work with your institution to be seated at their table(s). We can fit up to 10 people at a table. If an institution purchases a table of 8, they can have their finalist and their guest (both complimentary) sit at their table, for a total of 10 seats.
Please mail the RSVP card, along with your payment, if applicable. You can also choose to reserve and pay via credit card using our online reservations form. Once you have made a reservation, you will be placed onto our list and a seat at a specified table will be held for you at the gala. No paper tickets will be mailed. Contact our manager, Kelly, if you have any questions.
We will assign tables/seating, based on your request(s) and, when guests arrive to the Gala, they will be provided with seating cards containing table assignments. Please note that table location is determined based on sponsorship level and the order in which reservations are received.
