2008 Guidelines
What is the Wall of Fame?
The Wall of Fame recognizes exemplary employees for their dedication, innovation, customer service, and professionalism. You select the honoree(s) and we publicly recognize them at the annual conference.
When and where will the honorees be recognized?
On Tuesday, September 9, 2008, honorees will be introduced at the Recognition and Awards Banquet in Kennewick. The event will be held during the 2008 Public Transportation Conference & Expo. Honoree photos and achievement descriptions will be prominently displayed on the Wall of Fame exhibit during the conference.
How many honorees may we recognize?
Individual Honors
Each agency* may submit up to two employees. Individual honorees may also be a member of a team.
Team Honors
Each agency* may submit one team. A team must consist of at least two persons. For more than 15 team members, please contact Kathy Johnston at 360-705-7925.
* For the purpose of Wall of Fame selections, an agency may submit two individuals and/or one team from each county in which it has separate operating agreements. For example, People For People operates in several counties and may submit two individuals and/or one team for recognition for each county.
What information do we need to provide?
Complete the attached Wall of Fame Entry Form, including:
- Part A - Agency/Honoree Information
- Part B - Achievement descriptions for each honoree and/or team
- Part C - One electronic photo as described in Part C of the Entry Form for each honoree and/or team.
Whom should we honor?
The decision is yours. Past Wall of Fame honorees have been recognized for being conscientious, dedicated, and innovative. Honorees demonstrate leadership and a can-do attitude. They may be the Operator of the Year or a great addition to the team. Team members have been recognized for improving communications, cutting costs, reducing customer complaints, managing successful promotional campaigns, or working together to improve a process. Individuals and/or team members are employees you would like to publicly recognize. The process for selecting your Wall of Fame honoree(s) is up to you!
Who will notify honorees of their selection?
Please notify honorees of their selection and encourage their attendance at the Wall of Fame Recognition Banquet. We will send all correspondence to the agency contact person listed on the Wall of Fame Entry Form.
How do we pay for our Wall of Fame recipients?
There is no charge for entering honoree(s) in the Wall of Fame—only a charge for registering your honoree(s) for the Awards Banquet. Honorees are encouraged to participate in both the Awards Banquet and the entire conference and are charged the same rate as other conference guests.
The preliminary agenda (including the registration form) will be available by May 1 and at that time you will be able to register your Wall of Fame reciepient(s) and their guest online.
When are the entry forms due?
Please complete this electronic Wall of Fame Entry Form (Word 48kb) including photo(s) and description(s), and submit them to Kathy Johnston.
