Nominations for the 2008-09 President’s Achievement Award and the Donald Griffin ’23 Management Award will be accepted through Monday, Jan. 12. Award winners will be recognized at the Staff Recognition Luncheon on Thursday, March 26.

The President’s Achievement Award was established in 1997 to annually recognize five individuals with five or more years of service whose dedication, excellent work and special efforts have contributed significantly to the success of their departments and the University. Four employees are selected from the administrative and related staff, grades 1-6, and from the biweekly A and B staff, along with one employee from the administrative and related staff, grades 7-8.

Any member of the staff, faculty or student body, including peers and supervisors, can recommend an employee for nomination to the staff member’s vice president, dean, or academic chair or director. Only a vice president, dean, or academic chair or director can submit a nomination.

Nominations should be sent to the President’s Achievement Award Selection Committee, Office of Human Resources, 1 New South, or e-mailed to Zia Bartley at zbartley@princeton.edu.

Award winners will receive a $2,000 award and a framed certificate of achievement presented by President Tilghman. More information can be found at www.princeton.edu/hr/recog/presawrd.htm.

The Donald Griffin ’23 Management Award was established last year to provide an opportunity for professional development for managers and administrators whose experience and current responsibilities indicate potential for leadership and continuing contribution to the University. The award was endowed to honor Donald Griffin, a 1923 alumnus who served as the longtime secretary and general secretary of Princeton’s Alumni Council.

Awards are given annually to one employee in administrative grades 1-5 and to one employee in administrative grades 6-10. To be eligible, nominees must have held administrative or managerial positions for the past three years at the University.

An immediate or senior manager can recommend an employee for nomination to the appropriate vice president, dean, or academic chair or director. Only a vice president, dean, or academic chair or director can submit the nomination.

Nominations should be sent to the Donald Griffin ’23 Management Award Selection Committee, Office of Human Resources, 1 New South, or e-mailed to Maureen Imbrenda at mdimbrenda@princeton.edu.

Award winners receive a grant of up to $2,500 to participate in professional activities scheduled within the next year to provide new insights and perspectives, renew motivation and/or enhance skills applicable to their current responsibilities.
