ITS Shines a Spotlight
Sometimes, we just want to say "Thank you!" to a fellow co-worker who spent an a little extra time helping out with a problem or acknowledge in a public way "Job well done!" For this we are debuting our ITS Shines a Spotlight to publicly acknowledge an ITS employee. (This includes those on the ERP project.)
To participate, simply fill out and submit this web form. We publish the acknowledgements in the Hub and from a link on the EC webpage. There is no monetary or other gift associated with the Spotlight recognition. They are a means of simply saying "Thank you!"
