You are invited to submit nominations for the Administration and Financial Services High Five Award for Excellence. This prestigious award recognizes A&FS Division employees annually for continued and outstanding achievement in the division's core values of service excellence, teamwork, and initiative. By reaching higher and farther, High Five recipients exemplify the ways that all division employees can help the University of Northern Iowa achieve new heights of excellence. Although this award has similar characteristics of the university-sponsored Panther First Award, it is distinctively different, as the High Five Award recognizes behaviors, attitudes, and actions beyond any single event.
The High Five Award honors staff members in the departments, listed below, that demonstrate a continued and extraordinary commitment to Administration and Financial Services Division's core values. Nominees should stand out as exemplary in one or more of the following areas:
| Service Excellence | Teamwork | Initiative |
All permanent UNI Administration and Financial Services Division employees are eligible for the nomination after a minimum of two years of service.
To nominate an A&FS employee for the High Five Award, complete the nomination form and submit it electronically or through campus mail to: vpaf-highfive@uni.edu or VPAF-High Five at mail code 0003. Online nominations can be made by going here. All nominations must be submitted by Wednesday, October 17, 2012.
Nominations must include a written description of the nominee's continued and outstanding achievements in one or more of the division's core values. Submissions in paragraph format are encouraged so nominations convey the outstanding work of the nominees. The content of the descriptions will bear more value in the selection process than will the style in which the descriptions are written.
Nomination forms will be evaluated by the A&FS Rewards and Recognition Committee listed below. Names of nominees will be removed prior to being reviewed by the committee.
Final candidates' supervisors and/or co-workers may be interviewed for more details regarding the nominee's continued and exceptional work performance.
High Five Award winners will be recognized publicly during the division's annual ceremony on Tuesday, January 15, 2013.
