Think of the Woodie Flowers Award as a "Mentor of the Year" award, and you won't be too far off. It is not part of the Chairman's Award process. Neither is Dean's List (the student version of the Woodie Flowers Award, submitted by mentors).

However, if you want to recognize a mentor, write the essay. It's always fun to read it to the mentor in question at the end of the season.

I would suggest, to keep things straight, taking a quick read through the Administrative Manual, Section 5, the Awards, if you haven't already. This will give a good overview.
