San Francisco, CA, September 12, 2007: DeskDemon
and its platinum sponsor DYMO are pleased to announce Tina Butler as the first
winner of the pioneering Management Fellowship Support Award program. Launched
in August 2007 by DeskDemon, the program is designed to acknowledge and reward
the achievements of the administrative professional – the backbone of
the management profession.
Tina Butler
Tina has worked in the education field for over fifteen years. She has regularly
undertaken training in computer programs and, whilst working as an administrative
assistant, received a Bachelor’s degree in Business. Because of her commitment
to the job she decided not to change roles on receiving her degree, instead
seeing it as an opportunity to apply some of the lessons learned in her job
as well as mentor others in her department.
A veteran on numerous committees at the community college, she gets involved in a number of extra projects – anything from creating a website for an organization to putting together a training manual for a church group. She is currently considering going back to college to work for a Masters degree.
The goal of the Management Fellowship Support Award program is to acknowledge, recognize, reward and promote knowledge and good practice through each individual story.
Anyone can nominate an assistant who has made a difference to his or her day. The criteria for the nomination includes outstanding achievements in at least one of the following areas: Organizational and project management; training and mentoring; office management; communication; technology; problem solving. Winners are chosen by those who know the job the best – their peers. Each DeskDemon member is given ten votes to distribute to the entries they feel are the best. They may change the distribution of these votes at any point within any giving month. Each month the entry with the most votes receives $500 and their nominator $100. At the end of the competition, a group of industry experts will choose the most extraordinary entry for the grand prize of $15,000.
