Representatives of the Classified Professional Development Team joined staff of the Center for Learning Advancement (e.g. ABSE, ALS, ESL) and other colleagues to present Scott Bell (back row in orange) with the Employee of the Month award for March.

Scott’s been working as the Administrative Coordinator in ABSE since October 2001. Scott’s colleagues gave numerous examples to justify his receiving this award.  To name just a few, he is creative with space design – helping with the move to main campus and utilizing existing resources such as furniture & other surplus equipment.  He streamlined the intake process for new students to this campus, a necessity after the loss of vital support staff.  One favorite accolade shared about Scott is in regards to his non-intimidating nature, “…his gentle yet assertive nature…encourages cooperation rather than rebellion.”  He’s a great host, too, developing successful working relationships with statewide agencies that want to use Lane’s facilities over & over again because of Scott’s hospitality.  Outside of Lane, Scott is active athletically – taking a basketball class here at Lane, coaching city league teams, and serving as a host family for foreign exchange students – on top of the energy it takes to raise his own four teenagers!  Perhaps work is an escape?  

When you see Scott, congratulate him for doing a terrific job and celebrate his nomination as March’s Classified Employee of the Month.

And remember that, you too, can help us to recognize exemplary Classified employees by nominating them for this award.
