Nominations open for Spirit, Inspiring Change Leadership awards

The nomination deadline is March 2 for the school's annual awards.

Nominations are now being accepted for the School of Medicine Spirit Award and Inspiring Change Leadership Award.

“Each year, we present awards to those individuals who have truly gone above and beyond the call of duty that we’re all striving to answer,” said Lloyd Minor, MD, dean of the medical school. “I encourage you to nominate your colleagues whom you feel exemplify the best of Stanford Medicine.”

The Spirit Award is given each year to two eligible staff members. Winners of the award will be selected based on outstanding dedication, initiative, motivation, positive attitude and customer service.

The Inspiring Change Leadership Award is given to one or two eligible staff members. Nominees should be outstanding performers who have served at least two years at the medical school and who have initiated or led change and innovation — e.g., implementing new processes, systems, organizational structures or operating paradigms that will result in transformative improvements in service, efficiency, value, effectiveness, outcome or satisfaction.

Each award winner will receive a congratulatory letter and $3,000.
