About the awards
To celebrate service and/or research excellence on the part of ICORD staff, we are pleased to be able to offer Spinal Chord Awards for Staff Excellence. Supported with funds raised at the annual Spinal Chord gala, these awards provide a modest but tangible expression of appreciation for the efforts of ICORD staff. Staff members can be nominated for a particularly well-done task or project, or for overall excellence in the performance of their duties. One award each for service and research will be given again in February, 2012. Awards will be given in the form of a $250 gift certificate to a shop or service of the recipients’ choice. Nomination forms are available here.
