On behalf of the Staff Council we would like to say CONGRATULATIONS to Kim Osmond, events coordinator with the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), for being selected as the June recipient of our Staff Star Award!! Some of the things Kim’s nominator said about her are:

· Kim Osmond started working for OLLI as a student intern, graduating from the CEHS HTRM program in 2014, and was hired as the OLLI event coordinator in 2015. OLLI members have embraced Kim as a vital contributor to the organization. She works closely with the volunteer members on the Special Events Committee, Travel Committee, Theme Committee and as required supports other groups with plans for special events, symposiums and speaker series. Kim's responsibilities require her to work evening and weekend hours on occasion. She is always there, well prepared and ready to work.
· Kim builds relationships with her easy-going, engaging personality in addition to her skills in detail planning and juggling multiple projects at one time. Kim has a positive attitude at all times, relates well to her co-workers and fosters a positive environment in the OLLI office.
· In addition to her responsibilities for event planning, Kim provides membership (customer) support during peak times of registration and regular office hours. She is very organized and seeks ways to continue to improve through professional development and engagement outside of OLLI.

So, if you get a chance, stop by room 125 in the Home Economics Building and congratulation Kim. She is very deserving of this award!
