MANAGER OF THE YEAR
AWARD
PURPOSE |
| |
| As an endorsement to promote and support the development of managers and
future managers the Conference established an annual award designed to
provide financial assistance to a selected nominee. The award was
established at $1,500 specifically to attract interested candidates and to
make a significant contribution towards the overall cost of an advanced
degree |
| |
| NOMINATION |
| |
| It is the responsibility of the Immediate Past President to send out a
solicitation for candidates to each member of the Conference. This
solicitation is timed such that the award can be presented at the CEHA
Annual Environmental Symposium (AES), which is typically held in the
April-May timeframe. Applicants are required to be nominated by their
Director. The information is submitted in letter-style directly to the
Immediate Past President who then in turn reviews the submissions and makes
a recommendation to the Executive Committee. Again, the timing of this must
be such that 1) the announcement, 2) submission of letters of nomination, 3)
review and selection by the Immediate Past President, 4) recommendation and
approval by the Executive Committee, 5) notification to the winner, 6)
preparation of the plaques, and 7) presentation at the AES. |
| |
| CRITERIA |
| |
It is required that the nominee be actively enrolled in a recognized
graduate program and be employed in a management position within an
environmental health organization. A management position includes the
traditional titles of Assistant Director, Program Manager, and Supervisor.
The award is not available to entry level or senior staff within an
organization. The issue of how deep into the organizational structure the
award should go has been discussed and it has been established that it is
for candidates in management positions first. In the event that a qualified
candidate from a management level is not available the Conference will give
consideration to candidates from the supervisory level. |

recover the perpetual plaque and entrust it to the Executive Director for
