March 31, 2009 — Nominations are being accepted for the 11th annual Elizabeth Zintl Leadership Award. Given by the University of Virginia Women's Center, the award honors a woman employed in any area of the University whose high degree of professionalism, commitment and creativity make a direct and significant impact on the academic enterprise.
The award honors the late writer and journalist, Elizabeth Zintl, who served as chief of staff to President John T. Casteen III until her death in 1997.
The deadline for nominations is April 17. Materials should include a letter of nomination from another member of the U.Va. community, three additional letters of support from within the University and the nominee's current resume or curriculum vita. It is recommended that one of the letters comes from outside the nominee's department, office or school.
The honoree will receive a $1,000 prize to use for professional or personal development and will be recognized at a ceremony in the fall.
The Zintl Award is supported by a gift from the late David A. Harrison III, a devoted friend of Zintl's and one of the University's most generous benefactors.
Completed packets should be delivered to the Women’s Center by April 17, to the attention of Mindy Johnston, P.O. Box 800588, Charlottesville, VA 22908 or e-mailed to mkj2s@virginia.edu.
