Director's Awards Program
I am pleased to open the nominations for the Penn State Cooperative Extension Director's Awards program. The Director's Awards consist of a Leadership Award, a Team Award and a series of Spirit Awards.
The Director's Leadership Award honors an extension professional who has a strong history of outstanding leadership and contributions for Penn State Cooperative Extension and who has demonstrated the highest overall standards of performance.
The Director's Team Award recognizes Penn State Cooperative Extension administrative or program teams that work together in exemplary fashion to address a special initiative or goal. One or more members of the team must be an employee of Penn State Cooperative Extension.
The series of Director's Spirit awards recognize individuals or groups who show an outstanding commitment to their community and Penn State Cooperative Extension through dedication, enthusiasm and quality performance. Nominees must demonstrate extraordinary personal commitment to the mission of Penn State Cooperative Extension.
Nominations should be submitted to the Director's Office, 323 Agricultural Administration Building, and must be received by September 24, 2008 . Self nominations will not be accepted. Each nomination requires a minimum of one letter of nomination and two letters of support. At least one of the support letters should be from a supervisor of the nominee(s). The nomination criteria provides more detailed information on the awards and nomination process. For additional information, please contact the Director's Office at 814-865-4028. High quality nominations are expected. If nominations of sufficient quality are not received for a particular award, that award will not be conferred. The 2008 Director's Awards will be announced at the Extension Annual Conference on October 29, 2008.
These awards reflect the values and direction of Penn State Cooperative Extension and will provide recognition to those teams and individuals whose behavior and performance leads the organization forward in the 21st Century. Please consider nominating a noteworthy individual or team.
