Classified Employees Advisory Council

Outstanding Classified Employee Award

• 2011 Call for Nominees

The Classified Employees Advisory Council (CEAC) believes it is important to recognize exceptional and dedicated service to the University by classified employees.  The CEAC works to raise awareness in the campus community about the indispensable contributions that represented and non-represented classified employees make to the quality, diversity and overall mission of the University of Maine.  Toward this end, each year, CEAC sponsors the Outstanding Classified Employee Award.

The criteria each finalist must meet include:

• being a current classified employee
• serving the University a minimum of three (3) continuous years (full or part-time)
• inspiring others through dedication, commitment, and work ethic
• maintaining the highest level of professional service to the campus communitiy, or within their department(s), or area(s) of responsibility
• providing outstanding service to their University department(s)
• through outstanding service, helping to create a better environment for employees, students and campus community

UMaine employees may nominate a Classified employee meeting the above criteria for this award.  Each award must include at least three (3) letters of recommendation attached that describe the nominee’s actions, activities, and attitudes that set their job performance and contributions to the University community above normal expected levels. Past recipients are not eligible for the award.

After screening the nominations it receives, CEAC’s Classified Employees Recognition Committee will present an award and a cash stipend of $1,000 each to the two finalists.
