Submit your application for SMT employee representative

Dear colleagues:

We are now accepting applications for three new DTMB Senior Management Team (SMT) employee representatives, and the deadline is close of business on Friday, December 6, 2013. 

You can find and submit the application here:  http://inside.michigan.gov/sites/dtmb/eo/Lists/SMT%20Application/NewForm.aspx.
 
We recently asked some of our former SMT employee representatives how they felt about their own experience serving as an SMT employee representative:

“My experience with being an SMT employee representative was very positive and beneficial. I really enjoyed getting to know our senior leaders and appreciated seeing first-hand just how much Director Nixon and the SMT members sincerely care about employees and truly want to hear our input and make a positive difference in DTMB.”
-       Trish McKenna-Ley

“As an employee representative to the SMT, I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of value and attention the SMT puts towards the employee inquiries.”
-       Ray Johnson

“As a SMT employee representative, I was the voice for employees to present, suggest, and inquire on issues to the SMT. I was also able to participate in the meetings to discuss and resolve these issues. With the opportunity to see both sides work (employee and management) to become a better workplace through communication, I have a new found respect for the power of teamwork.”
-       Tina Ray

“My time as an SMT employee representative afforded the privilege of participating in the creation and implementation of the employee inquiry process which each subsequent group of employee representatives has owned and improved.  The overall experience demonstrated that input and participation from employees is not only welcomed but also highly valued.”
-       Suzanne Pauley

Thanks for considering this opportunity.
