For Staff Council Members Only
Nominations for 2025 open June 2 - 13.
Beginning in 2013, IU Indianapolis’s Staff Council began awarding the Staff Council Member of the Year award to an outstanding volunteer annually. The intention of this award is to honor a member who has exhibited extraordinary service to IU Indianapolis’s staff through their work on the Staff Council. The ideal honoree has demonstrated great commitment to serving their fellow staff through committee work, leadership roles, or general membership. They has gone above and beyond the responsibilities of Staff Council members to serve members of the campus community and improve the experience of their constituents. The awardee is active in both general meetings and committee assignment, providing valuable feedback and serving as a conduit for the needs of staff.
The Staff Council Member of the Year award is open to all current IU Indianapolis Staff Council members. Self-nominations and nominations of others are welcome. All nominees for the Member of the Year award will receive a letter of notification by email that they have been nominated for the award. The award recipient will receive a letter of congratulations and an award, and the appropriate supervisor will be notified. If selected as the Council Member of the Year, the winner will be disqualified from winning the New Member or Committee Chair of the Year awards for this year.
Congratulations to the winner of the 2024 Staff Council Member of the Year award, Beth Chaisson!
The Staff Council Member of the Year award is awarded by the IU Indianapolis Staff Council and administered by the Rewards and Recognition Committee. Questions? Please contact scouncil@iu.edu.
