Nominees are then presented to the Blue Ridge Institute Board of Directors at its November meeting. If nominees are accepted by the full Board, the Institute's Invitations Chair is then authorized to extend an invitation to individual for the the next-July Institute. Invitations generally come out in late April or early May of each year.
