Who can be nominated? Any classified staff member on the UCD payroll who has passed his/her probationary period.
Who can nominate an employee? Any other UCD employee. More than one employee can sign the nomination form and/or add comments to the form.
Special note. Three (3) nomination forms must be received for a candidate in order for that employee to be considered for the EOM award. At least one nomination form should be from the employee's own workplace.
