Dear Members of the Georgetown University Community,

On behalf of President John J. DeGioia, I am pleased to announce the launch of The President’s Excellence Awards Program for Staff and AAP employees.  With these awards, the University will have an annual opportunity to recognize and celebrate Staff and AAP members who have demonstrated outstanding service and/or have made truly distinctive contributions to the University.   The awards will recognize individual employees or teams of employees who are models of excellence – demonstrating performance above and beyond the outstanding performance expected of all University employees.  We will honor those who, through their exceptional performance and engagement, have far exceeded the normal and routine requirements of their positions, have significantly advanced the University in unique and strategic ways, or have served as exemplary role models to inspire excellence in others.

All members of the Georgetown University community are invited to nominate individual Staff/AAP members (or teams) who are believed to be worthy of consideration for this special recognition.  Actions, initiatives or projects worthy of consideration should represent one or more of the following:

  *    Performance that has clearly demonstrated a commitment to excellence -- above and beyond the normal requirements of the position -- that has inspired excellence in others and is worthy of special recognition
  *   Service Excellence that has enhanced the quality of life or work for students, faculty and/or staff
  *   Operational Efficiencies that have resulted in increased productivity or measureable savings
  *   Extraordinary Leadership that has influenced or accelerated positive change
  *   Innovation that has improved educational, administrative or other operational processes
  *   Creative Initiatives that have led to increased collaboration and respect between and among diverse members of the University community

To be eligible for consideration, the individual nominee or team member must be a full-time, regular Staff/AAP employee who has completed at least one year of service and is in good standing with the University.  Self-nominations will not be accepted. Teams are limited to a maximum of 10 employees and may be permanent or ad hoc, functional or cross functional. Nominations are to be submitted electronically no later than Friday, May 22, 2015 to [email-masked]<mailto:[email-masked]>.

A complete nomination packet must include:

  *   A nomination letter of no more than two pages that addresses the unique ways the nominee has demonstrated excellence worthy of consideration.  The letter should be clear and explicit as to the reason for the nomination and must specifically relate to actions, initiatives or projects that took place during the preceding 12 month period
  *   The current University department, office address, phone number and email address of the nominee
  *   Supporting documentation, if desired

The Department of Human Resources will confirm eligibility and review submissions with the nominee’s supervisor to ensure good standing. Eligible nominees will be asked to provide a current resume or brief biographical statement. We will convene a review committee -- which will include representation from each campus -- to review the nominations and make recommendations to the President.

Individual Award recipients will receive an award of $2500, and members of a team/group will each receive an award of $1000.

************
We encourage you to nominate deserving individuals for this prestigious award. This is an exciting opportunity to recognize the excellent contributions of Georgetown University’s Staff and AAP employees who work hard to enable the University to fulfill its mission and maintain its standing as one of the world’s leading academic and research institutions.

All the best,
Brenda Richardson Malone
Vice President for Human Resources & CHRO
