SUBJECT: Candidates for Secretary of the Year Awards
REFERENCE: (copy attached)
1. To my amazement I have learned that only one candidate has been
nominated so far from the E Career Service for the MAG-run Secretary of the
Year Awards. This means that except for the IC Staff none of you believes
that any of your secretaries should be offered the opportunity to win the
$1,000 DCI Area award or the $5,000 Agency Secretary of the Year award.
2. We have outstanding secretaries in the E Career Service. I believe
they should be recognized by at least being put in the running for these
awards. I would appreciate you giving personal attention to recommending by
11 January one or more candidates from your office. Attached is a copy of the
HN on how to go about it.

directorate will evaluate its candidates and will forward the top five to
the DCI Secretarial/Clerical MAG. The MAG Chairperson will excise the
first paragraph to remove the nominee's name and assign numbers to each
of the finalists. The DCI Secretarial/Clerical MAG will then evaluate
and rank the 25 finalists. After the selections have been made, the
.names of the award recipients will be sent to the DCI and the DDCI for
approval. The recipients will be announced the first week of April
1985. Any recipient assigned outside the Washington area will be brought
back to headquarters TDY to receive the award at the ceremony to be held
during National Secretaries Week.
