Staff Senate Accepting Nominations for Outstanding Team Award

The Staff Senate is now accepting applications for the Outstanding Staff Team Award. This award recognizes outstanding staff members who work together as a team on the University of Arkansas campus. The purpose of the award is to applaud outstanding staff accomplishments as well as encourage and promote excellence in the work place.

The team award recognizes performance for the previous calendar year. The outstanding team effort may be a result of a specific project or it may be the performance of the normal duties of an organizational unit. Eligible teams will be comprised of University of Arkansas staff employees who are 100 percent appointed at the Fayetteville campus and may be classified, non-classified, or a combination of both who have worked together to promote the mission of the university. The Outstanding Staff Team will receive a cash award totaling $2,500.

Deadline for nominations is Jan. 15, 2016. Award information and nomination form can be found on the Staff Senate website, http://bit.ly/1MjVbGc. Completed nominations should be sent to Mary Skinner, Awards Chair, A665 ARKU, ssawards@uark.edu.
