An administrative assistant in the cancer patient family resource center, an
administrator and chief of technology services for the Principal's Executive
Program, an operations superintendent in the Electric Systems Department, an
office assistant in the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, and a deputy director
for the North Carolina Institute for Public Health, are this year's winners of
the Chancellor's Award.
The winners, who also become Governor's Award nominees, are:
* Karen Binder, UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center;
* Sheila Cory, Principal's Executive Program;
* Jerry Lloyd, Electric Systems;
* Jackie Rogers, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Division of Gynecologic Oncology;
and
* Rachel H. Stevens, The North Carolina Institute for Public Health.
The five were recognized for meritorious and distinguished accomplishments
that went beyond normal job duties. Each won an award given for one of six
categories. The awards come with $500 and 24 hours of paid leave. Chancellor
Paul Hardin established the program in 1991.
The recipients were honored in the categories of outstanding state government
service, innovations, and public service. Winners receive monetary and leave
awards and are honored at a recognition luncheon in August.
Binder
"Karen not only fulfills her job description but also has ordered her whole
life to meet what she regards not as a job but as a calling. Karen was
instrumental in founding Cornucopia House, the cancer-coping center that serves
the triangle region of North Carolina. She continues to promote awareness of
ovarian cancer through a quilting project and working tirelessly to obtain
media coverage on this disease. In addition to this, she continually offers
her time to talk to women newly diagnosed with ovarian cancer."
Cory
"Cory has been an incredible force behind an entire initiative to provide high
quality professional development in the area of instructional technology for
every principal and superintendent in North Carolina. This program is the
result of a nearly $3-million grant proposal she wrote and secured from Bill
and Melinda Gates Foundation. North Carolina's proposal was the first in the
nation to receive full approval by the Foundation.
Lloyd
"During his 28 years of service to the state in general and to the University's
Electric Systems in particular, Jerry has risen through the ranks to supervise
all the electric distribution operations of by far the most complex and
demanding electric system anywhere in state government. He has come in any
time, day or night when there was any kind of interruption or question about
the quality of electric service on campus, even before being asked to do so by
the "on call" person or crew."
Rogers
"The difference in expected performance by dedicated employees and what is
clearly above and beyond the call of duty involves Jackie's ability to respond,
minute by minute to any crisis. Jackie goes the extra mile, has a very strong
knowledge base of how the division works and has wonderful people skills--by
being supportive and responsive to others or even by wearing the "black hat"
when needed, to help people learn the right way to do something. Jackie
consistently exceeds all requirements and is more than dependable."
Stevens
"Her lifelong commitment to improving the health of the people of North
Carolina is legendary. Rachel has been involved with improving day care, jail
health, rural health and general community health. In her tireless activism she
has played a major role in improving the quality of life for the citizens of
our state and our country."
