This June, a luncheon was held to honor ten RLE administrative assistants in recognition for their completion of the 2016–2017 RLE Leading Excellence in Administration Program. The LEAP program, consisting of monthly workshops, was created in the fall of 2012 to support and enhance the administrative, human resources, fiscal and computer skills of the RLE’s administrative assistants. Over the past five years we’ve received overwhelmingly positive feedback from RLE’s PIs expressing the value of LEAP. The following assistants were recognized for completing the program:
Fionnuala Coary (Financial Assistant, RLE HQ)
Chadwick Collins (Daniel, Voldman, and White groups)
Shayne Fernandes (Hu, Ram, and Wong groups)
Dorothy Fleischer (Berggren and Fujimoto groups)
Donna Gale (Kassakian, Kirtley, Leeb, and Perreault groups)
Josephina Lee (Orlando and Shapiro groups)
Tricia O’Donnell (Wornell group)
Read Schusky (Dresselhaus group)
Laura von Bosau (Grossman and Oppenheim groups)
Arlene Wint (Adalsteinsson, LEES, Shattuck-Hufnagel groups)
