Call for Ron Orta Humanitarian Award
Nominations
As Chair of the Ron Orta Humanitarian Award, I'd like to take this opportunity to make a plea to get nominations in for this prestigious award! I have been getting a lot of feedback concerning the nominations process and requesting that the qualifications be a bit more detailed without taking anything away from what Allentown has originally developed. Don't be intimidated to write your letter. The person that deserves this award is a well rounded individual that is all about serving their co-workers and goes out of their way to help whenever possible, volunteers for community activities, and is either working on getting certified or involved in getting continued education at any lever, or participating in planning education seminars or symposiums, etc. The Committee is inviting everyone to nominate someone without feeling intimidated. Ron was a man who loved everyone and would never be interested in an award bearing his name to be used as a promotional ploy or a popularity contest. Check out the "Guidelines for Nominating a Candidate for the Ron Orta Humanitarian Award" below. You should be able to find at least one, maybe several, who would qualify in your facility! Maybe it's you! "Guidelines in Nominating a Candidate for the Ron Orta Humanitarian Award" 1) Nominee must be a member from a Branch within the District 8. a) Technician, Secretary, IACUC Coordinator, Manager/Supervisor, Director, Branch Officer, Branch Chair, Branch member, or Commercial Member. b) You can also nominate yourself. 2) Write your nomination letter and begin it by generally stating why you believe this person should receive the Ron Orta Humanitarian Award and then adding the following: a) Examples of how he/she exhibits compassion towards his/her peers. ("Walking the extra mile"...be specific) b) Examples of cooperation and involvement in his/her community. (Volunteerism, involvement with FFA, Humane Society, Science Fairs, or other organizations. for example) c) Examples of Continuing education. (He/she working on certifications, etc, or participated as a presenter, or involved in promoting or planning a seminar, study group, or symposium. 3) SPREAD THE NEWS! a) Send out e-mails or call everyone your nominee knows and ask them to write reference letters. b) Reference letters could include items 2) a-c above and be specific as to how they were personally affected by the nominees involvement in these activities or they can add their own. c) Reference letters should not be intimidating. Can be long or short...it's content is what will be judged...not appearances. (Suggestion: Get as many reference letters as you can). 4) Send your submission in a manila envelope ASAP, before the Deadline of March 1, 2010 to: Vickie Riojas Animal Resources Center PO Box 173640 (If using Fed Ex use "Building 100" instead of the PO Box) Montana State University Bozeman Montana 59717
