7.  The coach must be a current member of the ICGSA in order to nominate.  Membership must    

be received by the membership chairperson no later than the Academic All State deadline for your sport.

Completed applications and transcripts must be received by the Academic All State Chairperson by midnight of your sectional tournament entry date to be eligible for Academic All State or Honorable Mention consideration.  Incomplete nominations or nominations received after the deadline will not be considered for these honors unless the late nomination procedure is followed within 48 hours of the deadline.  Coaches who are not members by the deadline date for their sport WILL NOT have their athlete's nomination considered.  EMail or submit via online your nominations early, so they arrive before the deadline.  The Academic All-State Chairperson will acknowledge receipt of your nomination via email.     If you have not received acknowledgement by NOON on the day before your deadline, you should contact her immediately.
