2010 YWCA TWIN Award Nominations for Women Staff

The Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on the Status of Women (CSW) is seeking nominations for women in staff positions for this year’s YWCA’s “Tribute to Women & Industry” (TWIN) Award. Since 1981, CSW has alternated nominating UC San Diego Faculty and Staff women executives for the award.

The YWCA initiated this program to augment the efforts of companies in recognizing their female employees for outstanding achievement. The criteria for the nomination is that the:

* Honoree must occupy a management, executive or professional position with responsibility for a major component of your company/organization.

* Honoree must have made an outstanding achievement within your company/organization.

Further, the Chancellor endorses and submits the final nomination in May to the YWCA. The campus nominee, along with other women throughout the San Diego area will be honored at a benefit luncheon on June 18, 2010 and at an end-of-year CSW-sponsored event.

All nominations are due April 23, 2010 for CSW review. Please go to this website to complete your nomination: http://maeservices.ucsd.edu/twin/
