Nominees sought for staff award

UW employees are invited to nominate their colleagues for the 1998 Distinguished Staff Award, a $3,000 award to be given to up to five outstanding staff employees. This is the second year of the awards and the first year they will be presented at the University's annual recognition event, to be held June 11, along with the Distinguished Teaching and Outstanding Public Service awards.

All permanent staff employees at Seattle, Bothell or Tacoma are eligible if they work 50 percent or more, have been employed at least six months and are employed on the nomination closing date.

Employees should look for the following qualities in those they nominate:

  • superior sustained or special one-time contribution to the mission of the unit or the University,
  • exceptional creativity and innovation,
  • superior responsiveness in delivering service to the unit's clients,
  • clear dedication to high standards in his/her own work and in that of others, and
  • continuous contribution to a positive work environment.

    The deadline for nominations is Friday, Feb. 20. Nomination packets, which include examples of each of the selection criteria, are available on the web at http://www.washington.edu/admin /personnel/dsaward, by sending an e-mail to dsaward@u.washington.edu or by calling Pat Wrobel at 616-7503 or Pat Janssen at 685-7285. Nominations require a one-page nomination letter with three supporting one-page letters. Two of the supporting letters must be from a co-worker, supervisor, an UW affiliate, student, peer or faculty.

    Staff members nominated last year are eligible to be nominated again, however previous recipients are no longer eligible. ¶
