Hints for Completing the Nomination Form

Some questions to answer within your examples:

1.  How does this person live out their values?

2.  How does this person demonstrate selflessness?

3.  What is the impact this person has on patients, co-workers, families?

4.  How does this person go above and beyond the expectations of their normal role?

A guide for writing an example:

Instead of writing: "Elizabeth is always helpful" explain

"how" by writing something like:

"An example of Elizabeth's service-oriented approach is when, after a long day in Surgery, she took time to assist students with their research project. Despite her long day and the many hours in the OR, she took several hours to ensure the students were well-oriented, knew what they were doing and had all the materials they needed. Her selfless approach, professionalism and interest in others is inspirational!"

Selection Process

Each nomination will be reviewed by the Selection Committee consisting of members from Senior Leadership from LHSC, LHSF, Lawson, CH or CHF; LHSC and LHSF Board of Directors; and members of Martha Curgin's family.

The Selection Committee is governed by terms of reference as approved by LHSF Board of Directors.
