THE Rotary Club of Narrabri will again recognise excellence in the workplace through its Pride of Workmanship Award.

The award aims to identify outstanding workers within the Narrabri Shire.

The selection criteria includes a consistently high level of work over the past 12 months, surpassing expectations (in terms of both quality of work and the level of output) and an ongoing commitment to learning.

Rotary’s vocational director Tricia Hadley has encouraged the community to acknowledge excellence in the workplace.

“It’s a great opportunity for employers to give credit to hard workers, or for team members to recognise their colleague’s efforts,” she said.

Last year’s winner was Julie Canfell, of Commons Espresso Bar. Julie was praised for her excellent service, passion and energy.

Finalists included Lisa Wheeler, One23 Cafe and Restaurant; Lauren Grant, 2Max FM; and Margaret Goodwin, Namoi Hotel.

The award has been a long-running initiative of Narrabri Rotary.

“The Pride of Workmanship title goes beyond the everyday operations of a business and extends into the surrounding community,” Mrs Hadley said.

“It also aims to encourage a sense of local pride in the individual achievements of workers.”

The top nominees will be narrowed down to a few select finalists, with the winner announced at the Rotary Club of Narrabri’s presentation dinner on 6 August.

Nominations close on Friday 24 July and people are encouraged to enter employees they think are worthy of recognition.

Nomination forms can be picked up from Your Photos Framed, Weel Australia or Helloworld. Forms are also available on the Rotary Club of Narrabri’s Facebook page.

Forms can also be emailed, and people are asked to contact Tricia Hadley at [email protected]

Completed nomination forms can be returned to the email address above.

The criteria needed to complete the nomination form include the nominee’s full name, age, address, organisation, position and contact details.

It also asks for the contact details of the nominee’s employer, and why you consider them to be worthy of the award.
