2009 Distinguished Performance Award winners announced

Recognizing outstanding performance by individuals, teams

August 26, 2010—Five individuals, five small teams, and seven large teams are receiving 2009 Distinguished Performance Awards, a program that recognizes job performance above and beyond what is normally expected.

Individuals or small teams who receive Distinguished Performance Awards have made an outstanding and unique contribution that had a positive impact on the Laboratory's programmatic efforts or status in the scientific community, required unusual creativity or dedication of the individual or team, and resulted from a level of performance substantially beyond what normally would be expected.

Large-team award recipients performed scientific, engineering, technical, administrative, and/or management activities at a level far above normal job assignments; completed a project that brought distinction to the Laboratory by resolving a problem that has broad impact and/or resulted in the Lab becoming the recognized expert in the field; worked on a project that involved original and innovative thinking, approaches and results; and exhibited (by each member of the team) an exemplary level of skill, teamwork, and dedication well beyond normal expectations that resulted in the successful completion of the project.

Here is the list of 2009 Distinguished Performance Award recipients.
