The Director’s Awards program recognizes the significant achievements of Lab employees. Each year, these awards are given for accomplishments, leadership, collaboration, multi-disciplinary science, cross-divisional projects, and commitment to excellence in support of the Lab’s mission and strategic goals. Berkeley Lab employees submit nominations of individuals and teams, which are then reviewed by a Lab-wide Director’s Awards committee.
This year there are two new exceptional achievement award categories: organizational impact and IDEA, which encompasses outreach, mentorship, and building a Lab community.
The Organizational Impact award recognizes work done supporting the Lab’s mission and its strategic goals, such as exceptional service, and/or efforts that enhance processes, cross-functional partnership and collaboration, efficiency, and/or policy implementation. The scope of recognition in this award was expanded so that it could include a much broader range of work than the previous Service and Operations awards.
The IDEA award helps us recognize people who have exceptional achievements in operationalizing IDEA principles, especially in:
-
- Outreach: Honoring significant efforts to increase current and/or future diverse representation at the Lab.
-
- Mentorship: Significant efforts to foster belonging and access to opportunities for career advancement for employees regardless of background.
- Lab Community: Significant efforts to cultivate networks of support and build cultures of inclusion at the Lab.
The Director’s Achievement Awards Ceremony will be held on Thursday, November 10, 3:00 PM – 5:30 PM
