Nominations sought for outstanding professional, classified employees
The Professional Employees Advisory Council (PEAC) and Classified Employees Advisory Council (CEAC) are seeking nominations for this year’s outstanding employee recognition awards.
The awards raise awareness about the contributions professional and classified employees make to the quality, diversity and overall mission of the university.
To be considered a finalist for the 2016 Outstanding Classified Employee Award, nominees must be a current UMaine classified employee who has served at least three consecutive years (either full or part time); inspired others through dedication, commitment and work ethic; maintained the highest level of professional service to the campus community, within their department or areas of responsibility; provided outstanding service to their university department; and helped create a better environment for employees, students and the campus community.
More information about the award, including the nomination form, is online. Nominations, along with three letters of recommendation, can be submitted online; by mail to Melinda Pelletier, 201 Alumni Hall, University of Maine; or by email to umceac@maine.edu. The deadline to apply is March 11.
To be eligible for the 2016 Outstanding Professional Employee Award, each nominee must be a current professional employee who has served UMaine for at least three consecutive years and is not a past recipient of the award.
PEAC’s selection of an award recipient will be based on the nominations that best reflect a dedication to serving others; the highest level of professional services and standards within their disciplines or areas of responsibility; a drive to create a better campus environment for students, faculty and/or staff; and demonstration of public service through significant contributions to their field, the university and community.
More information about the 2016 Outstanding Professional Employee Award, including the nomination form, is online.
