By MG Linda Barrett
It’s that time of year when we ask you to nominate MG’s for their exceptional work. There are two awards: the Outstanding Service Award and the Lifetime Achievement Award. Recipients will be honored at our Holiday Party in December. All nominations are due by Saturday, November 1.
Criteria for the Outstanding Service Award
Any MG or MG intern may nominate a MG for the Outstanding Service Award.
You may nominate someone for dedication and commitment, creativity or innovation in their assignment, leadership, superior organizational skills, use of new methods or technologies, contributing to achieving project goals and the MG mission, or reliability in committee tasks.
MGs may receive this award more than once. However, priority will be given to MGs who have not won the award previously and who have actively participated in more than one activity or event this year.
Criteria for the Lifetime Achievement Award
Any MG or MG intern may nominate an MG for exceptional commitment to the mission of the MG program for 15 or more years.
MGs from the class of 2010 and earlier are eligible. You can find eligible MGs in VMS: once logged in, go to Directory > select Search (NOT Quick Search) > search on "Class Year less than 2011."
The MG nominee will have served as a board member or chairperson of a committee, had active participation within one or more committees, or performed outstanding service in a special task or role.
MGs may only receive this award once.
To submit a nomination, send an email to MGs Linda Barrett and Sreemoti Mukerjee-Roy which includes:
Your name
Your contact information
Name of the MG you are nominating
A short paragraph about the exceptional work the nominee has done
A picture of the nominee (posed or candid while volunteering)
