Spring is near and that means we are beginning to plan for the next fiscal year. With that, we are in need of your assistance. We have openings in our leadership team. You can help by volunteering yourself or nominating someone for a position.
If you have been involved for a while and are looking for ways to build your leadership skills, we are looking for a person to fill the role of President. Some board experience is beneficial, but you will have a team of experienced people surrounding you to help you succeed. This is your chance to make a difference in our organization.
If you want to get more involved, but not sure about the time commitment or where your skills can best be used, please reach out to me. I’m happy to meet with you online.
Please complete the Interest Inventory online form. Volunteer yourself for a position or nominate someone. We can’t do this without you. Thank you.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Lorraine Moon at lmoon1@unl.edu.
Updated Award Nomination Deadline, March 15
The University Association for Administrative Development (UAAD) is accepting nominations for the 2021 Carl A. Donaldson Award for Excellence in Management and the 2021 Floyd S. Oldt Award for Exceptional Service to the University. The nomination deadline for both awards has been updated to Monday, March 15, 2021.
The Carl A. Donaldson Award for Excellence in Management recognizes campus managers in non-faculty positions. The award has been presented since 1972 and honors Donaldson, a University of Nebraska graduate who worked for the university for 43 years. Donaldson founded UAAD in 1961.
The Floyd S. Oldt Award for Exceptional Service to the University honors a UNL employee in a managerial/professional position. The award was created in 1992 from a bequest by Oldt, a 1920 University of Nebraska graduate. Oldt was a superintendent of Abel Construction Company in Lincoln before moving to Dallas. Oldt was a contributor to many humanitarian and civic organizations.
