JJAM’s
Annual Conference at Treetops in Gaylord is just around the corner and
now is the time to select and nominate your choice for the Mary S.
Coleman Award honoring the court worker of 2010.
Make Sept. 22-24 2 really special for your co-worker. Not only will their
expenses for the annual conference be paid by JJAM… but they will also
receive a beautiful engraved plaque for their office wall to acknowledge
their hard work and the high esteem bestowed upon them by their
co-workers.
Many members fail to nominate very deserving staff under the mistaken
notion this is the “Martha Stewart Award” requiring that the recipient:
- Work a 40-hour
week at the sponsoring court;
- Donate 20-40 hours
additional service without requesting compensatory time;
- Keep the family
home comprised of spouse, three children and two foster children
running smoothly and happily;
- Volunteer weekends
at the local animal shelter; and
- Coach weekday
evenings for the neighborhood Little League.
In
contrast, the Mary S. Coleman Award is intended to honor the court worker
whose contributions cast a special glow upon their court. Past winners
tend to be individuals who:
- Make coming to
work a pleasure for their judges and their co-workers;
- Turn obstacles
into challenges;
- Perform their job
competently and professionally;
- Freely give their
assistance and talents to others;
- Tend to look for
the brighter side of a situation;
- Perform their jobs
without self-serving or hidden agendas;
- Treat judges,
co-workers, and clients with respect and positive regard
- Contribute heavily
to their court’s being viewed in a very positive light by the manner
in which they conduct themselves privately and professionally in the
community.
Take
the time to identify and honor those special individuals within your
workplace by completing the enclosed nomination forms today. Win or lose,
it’s a nice feeling to be recognized and appreciated by those with whom
we work.
Nominations must be received no later
than September 9, 2010. Nominations may be sent to: Cindy Morley,
3360 Hospital Rd., Saginaw, MI 48603. Phone: (989) 799-2821
ext. 4128. Fax: (989) 799-2171.
