Nominations are now being accepted for the eighth annual Women's Leadership Award, which will be presented at the Women's Network spring luncheon on May 9.

One honoree from each chapter — APL, Bayview, Homewood, JHMI and SAIS — will be selected, based on her leadership in motivating others in their work and community; developing leadership skills in others; mentoring; increasing employee knowledge of critical issues facing an office, division or department; or strengthening the commitment of faculty, staff and students to the university.

To make a nomination, complete the form at www.jhu.edu/~wforum/events/leadership.html and submit it via e-mail to Nora Koch at koch@jhu.edu by Friday, Feb. 29.

Junior Achievement Biztown Event

The Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs has partnered with Junior Achievement to help Furman Templeton Elementary School students in West Baltimore. Johns Hopkins volunteers are needed for JA BizTown, an event designed to help fifth- graders become "grown-ups" for a day by learning to hold a job, manage finances and develop an understanding of how to be a functioning adult in the community.

The program will be held from 8:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 10. Participants who did not attend the Dec. 12 session must attend the one scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m., on Wednesday, Jan. 9, at the Junior Achievement office in Owings Mills.

For more information, contact Sondra Ponzi at 410-516-0338 or log on to www.jhu.edu/fsrp for links to this and other FSRP community service programs.
