March 4 is the deadline to nominate staff members for UALR Staff Senate awards.

A cash award of $1,000 will be presented to the top employee in each of the following categories:

• Personal Growth: Recognition will go to an individual whose scholarship, research, or creative talent has been particularly outstanding.
• Service to UALR:  Recognition will go to an individual who is distinctive in service through committees, special events, implementation of creative ideas or support and encouragement of others.
• Community Service: Recognition will go to an individual who has been particularly successful in organizing community events or had major achievements in civic, service, or specialty organizations/events.

To nominate an employee, contact Staff Senate Vice President Akaya Lee in the Facilities Management Building Room 213.

“We strongly recommend submitting a thorough recommendation letter because nominees will not be supporting their own nominations this year,” Lee said.

The awards will be presented at the Annual Staff Awards Ceremony at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 13, in the University Theatre.
