To complete your DSA nomination/support letter online using NOVASIS:

  1. Select the person you are nominating by using the Nominee Lookup link. Type in the name of the person and click Search. Once you find the person's name, click their last name to select him/her.

  2. Select the three people who will be writing letters of support for your nomination. Use the three Supporter Lookup links to select them.  Make sure to enter all three Supporters!!!
