The February CMPH All Staff College Forum acknowledged a number of Quiet Achievers among our staff.
The CMPH Quiet Achiever Awards are a new ongoing initiative acknowledging the silent but important staff contributors. The Award acknowledges how valued and appreciated these quiet achievers are, and recognises their important, often behind-the-scenes, contribution to the College.
The eligibility for the Award is uncapped – they are unlimited, and open to all College staff, including portfolio staff, and affiliates who support CMPH activities.
Please join us in congratulating the first 2023 awardees:
