Round of Applause: Tami Chargois
Tami is an absolute dream to work with. She is efficient, thoughtful, and has the ability to see potential issues before they arise. She and I collaborated on our recent HR Council meeting and despite some last-minute adjustments, Tami rolled with everything and made sure everything was handled. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy working with her – we couldn’t have done it without her!
Nominated by Kathy Bryant
Round of Applause: Douglass Davis
When the new sensitivity labels kicked in and I had trouble getting one of my database features to work, Doug found me a workaround and got me back in fighting form in no time. I really appreciate how quickly he was able to get me up and running again and all the patience he shows me on the regular!

Round of Applause: TiJuana Harris
In TiJuana’s short time of working here she has demonstrated that she knows what it means to work within a team!

Round of Applause: April Thompson
Since April joined our COS Division team, our administrative efficiency and service to our affinity groups in the Safety and Internal Audit Offices has grown by leaps and bounds. Juggling multiple administrative duties for two offices within the COS division, tending to multiple affinity groups, supporting the Board of Governors CARMC, organizing systemwide campus safety trainings and conferences, staffing the Risk Review Board – April does it all! She is an invaluable member of our team and we could not function without her. She even manages to keep Fred Sellers in line :-). Thank you, April, for all you do!
