Cal Caucus Invites Nominations for 2014 Awards

The California Caucus of College and University Ombuds is soliciting nominations for awards to be given during its meeting at Asilomar in Pacific Grove on November 16–19. Each year, CCCUO publicly acknowledges individuals who have distinguished themselves through outstanding and noteworthy contributions to the Ombuds field, within Cal Caucus and the profession at large.
Two awards are considered annually:

• The Service Excellence Award recognizes significant leadership contributions to CCCUO. Cal Caucus is unique in that it is participant driven, sustained and maintained wholly through volunteer work effort. This Award recognizes individuals who excel in this service. 
• The Pete Small Award distinguishes a colleague as “Ombudsperson of the Year” for work within Cal Caucus and beyond that is recognized as unique and substantive in advancing the Ombuds field. 

Nomination is by letter and should address all criteria areas, providing specific examples of the nominee’s contributions and achievements for the committee’s consideration. Nominations must be received by October 31, 2014. (Cal Caucus.)
