Senate Bill 09-10-17

Bill ID: 09-10-17
Name: BOR Staff Awards 2009-2010
Proposed: 10/07/2009
Sponsor: Council of University System Staff (CUSS)
Proposal: The Council of University System Staff (CUSS) is accepting nominations for the 2009-2010 Board of Regents University System of Maryland Staff Awards. We continue to encourage exempt nominations, and we would especially like to see an increase in the number of nonexempt nominations. These awards present an excellent opportunity for USM institutions to recognize outstanding staff members. All of the USM institutions, as well as the USM Office, are encouraged to submit nominations for the Board of Regents Awards by Friday, January 22, 2010.

In accordance with the Board of Regents Policy, the nominations must be reviewed at each institution before submission to the CUSS Awards Review Committee. The Senate Staff Affairs Committee, which is representative of all classifications of employees at the institution, will conduct the internal review for the University of Maryland College Park. The Staff Affairs Committee will fully consider all nominees and make recommendations to President Mote, who will select and forward the final campus nominees to the CUSS Awards Review Committee in January 2010. The CUSS Awards Review Committee will then select the final candidates to be submitted to the USM Board of Regents. The announcement of the selected recipients will be made by the Board of Regents in early Summer 2010, with formal presentation of the award recipients by the Board of Regents in early Fall 2010.
