Service and retirement awards
have long been a tradition at University of California campuses. These gifts have
ranged from simple pins to elaborate glass pieces to the less-sublime, but more
practical crockpot.
Looking to recognize faculty
and staff in a way that reflected their loyalty and service as well as the
greatness of the institution, UC Berkeley’s Jeannine Raymond, Assistant Vice
Chancellor, Human Resources (HR), began two years ago an effort to revamp the
campus awards program. Raymond had a concept and, early in the process, her
office reached out to Supply Chain Management, Laurina Ashby, for guidance in

Check Out the New Postings
You may have noticed some new postings lately on the
bulletin boards at Supply Chain Management (SCM) sites. They include the
project tracker, monthly unit metrics and a poster featuring a Supply Chain
Champion. These items are meant to provide more transparency about our work and
to recognize staff members.
The project tracker has information about current SCM projects and the metrics are monthly highlights of our work. The Supply Chain Champion will feature a different staff member each month and is a great way to get to know a little bit more about our co-workers and the great work they’re doing.
Our first Supply Chain Champion is Lian Millward. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the bulletin boards, here’s a look at what's on the poster.
Kudos Korner: Great Work By SCM Staff

Kudos Korner: Great Work By SCM Staff
- Dianne Holmes is now the Treasurer and Mentorship Chair for the Northern California Institute for Supply Management.
- Dana Jantz, Manager of the Department of Plant & Microbial Biology at Berkeley sent thanks to Dave Munson and CSS for their work: "Right before curtailment, PMB had a number of very urgent purchasing things to get done before the shutdown. Due to the reduced staffing, I really thought it would be impossible to get everything done. However, this team really took on the urgency of my requests, and worked very smoothly together and helped me accomplish everything I needed to. I am really grateful to them for that!"
- Maria Mazzei's work on the UCSF talent acquisition bid earned this from Andrew Clark: "Maria is the BOSS! We will essentially have put together a $100,000 bid for UCSF Talent Acquisition in about three hours. Not a lot of savings, but definitely made us look cool to our Talent Acquisition team at UCSF."
- Vanessa Wong sends praise to Melissa Gee and Olga Gumankova for the great work they did to get the UCSF Construction Group up and running on BearBuy.
