SCALED CRITERIA
An international and statewide diverse 8 person committee will grade each nominee’s activities on a level of 1-10, with 10 being the most important highest level, per item as follows:
1. Cultural impact on Latino advancement and empowerment.
2. Macro impact on a statewide level – general community and Latino community.
3. Micro impact on a neighborhood – municipal level.
4. Spanish language maintenance and advancement.
5. Heritage Level – how much does it add to Latino culture.
6. Lasting Impact – the future and now of the work and initiative.
7. Community development – building bridges across diverse ethnicities and cultures.
The results will be recorded and tabulated. Ties will be sent for another round with more detail. The top 100 Latinos and the Top 10 of the Decade will then be ranked accordingly.
