General Circular No. 001663

 

To:                   Heads of State Agencies and Human Resource Directors

 

Subject:            Nominate Deserving Employees for the 2006 Dunbar Awards

 

Issue Date:       June 19, 2006

 

In our continuing effort to recognize classified state employees for the tremendous contributions they make to the state of Louisiana, we hope you will consider nominating one of your employees for the 2006 Charles E. Dunbar Career Service Award.

 

The Dunbar Award is the highest honor classified state employees can receive for their service to the citizens of Louisiana.  The Civil Service League bestows the award on local, state and municipal civil service employees who distinguish themselves through unselfish service to the citizens of Louisiana.  Nominees are judged on commitment to the classified service, contributions toward workplace improvement, personal initiative, and volunteer community service.

 

The award is named after the founder of the League, Charles E. Dunbar, Jr., who is responsible for spearheading the effort to establish a classified workforce that would be governed through merit system principles.

 

We encourage you to distribute this information and the registration form to your employees in as many mediums as possible – intranet, employee newsletter, agency website, etc.  The League’s memorandum and registration form are attached and available on the Civil Service website at www.civilservice.louisiana.gov

 

Send six copies of your nomination form by Friday, August 18, 2006 to:  Mr. Daniel E. Sullivan, Executive Vice President, Civil Service League, 810 Union Street, Suite 305, New Orleans, LA, 70112.  If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Sullivan at 504-522-3875.

 

Sincerely,
