Kudos...

Here is what my boss, the Associate Dean had to say about my event this week. She sent this to my supervisor the evening after the ceremony. It gets put there as part of my record. I think this also establishes me here as an event planner and I now get all sorts of training and to be a member of the Event Planners Network. Woo.

******,

The ***** Awards ceremony today was wonderful, thanks in overwhelming
measure to Jane's work on this event. Jane did an outstanding job on
every aspect of the ***** nomination process and ceremony, from
collecting and organizing the nominations (17 nominations, with
roughly 170 letters, many arriving under separate cover), to dealing
with multiple requests for exceptions to the nomination procedures,
to coordinating with the selection committee and arranging for them
to meet. Jane was also the primary "point person" (in coordination
with ***** and ***** ***** of the *grad student senate*) in terms of the program
production, the awards plaques production, the catering, flowers,
room arrangements, photographer, and all publicity associated with
the event. This was a huge job, and Jane made sure that everything
went off seamlessly.

We had about 70 attendees, and everyone I spoke with was effusive
about the ceremony. Jane really made the *department* look good today!
