The UNeCard/Photo I.D. Office recently received the UNMC Business and Finance department’s TEAM (Team Excellence and Merit) Award. Don Leuenberger, vice chancellor for business and finance, presented the award Dec. 11.
During the past year, staff members Ken Tilford and Randy Clark took on the task of re-carding all UNMC employees and students — nearly 5,000 identification cards — to increase campus security. The pair also was praised for working tirelessly with Metro Health Federal Credit Union to increase the usefulness of the UNeCard.
“In the meantime, they have managed to be helpful, pleasant and quick to respond to any individual or department that needs their assistance,” a nominator said. “Their work in 2002 serves as a great example to other departments, that by using the tools you have, ingenuity and persistence — even the greatest tasks can be surmounted.”
Given twice a year, the TEAM Award was initiated in December 2000 so employees could nominate deserving work groups, teams, committees, departments and/or areas.
