Sanchez Working together and having a positive outlook are the keys to success, according to Jutta Kayser of Ethics and Audit. A Laboratory employee since 2002, Kayser is the ultimate team player. She chairs the Women’s Employee Resource Group, which sponsors the Women’s Career Development Mentoring Awards. She also is a coordinator for the annual Expanding Your Horizons conference, which introduces junior high and high school girls to math and science. “I am a very positive person and love dealing with people,” said Kayser, an administrative operations specialist in Ethics and Audit. “I think it’s important to provide expert service to my organization to help achieve division goals and objectives in a team effort, thus helping the Laboratory meet its milestones.” Laboratory organizations, Kayser said, should work collaboratively, respectfully, and professionally with one another. “We are all in the same boat, and a friendly word or thank you can really go a long way. I think I inspire people with my positive attitude and energy,” she said. Kayser likes to recognize women at the Lab who perform outstanding work. “The programs I have participated in, like the LANL Star Award program, recognize the many wonderful women at the Laboratory who go above and beyond the call of duty to make important contributions to the Laboratory and the community,” she said. Kayser said she was surprised and honored when she was named a 2007 LANL Star. “Recognitions like this inspire me to do even more,” she said. “I think it’s important to foster mutual respect and understanding, and I feel that I can make a difference by devoting my time and energy to the various activities I am involved in." Kayser’s positive nature and willingness to lend a hand don’t stop when she leaves work. She’s also a volunteer for the Northern New Mexico Big Brothers Big Sisters Lunch Buddy Program. — Erika L.
