ENERGY AND KNOWLEDGE FORM
WINNING COMBINATION FOR BRANTLEY

Mary Brantley’s work is usually behind the scenes, but after receiving a 2005 Staff Excellence Award, she’ll step from behind the curtain for much deserved applause.

“It’s a nice feeling to be recognized for what I do, but I’m part of a team,” said Brantley, University of Houston’s Faculty Senate staff associate. “I share my success with the other half of the Faculty Senate staff, Brenda Jones.”

Brantley and Jones, the Faculty Senate office coordinator, are the senate’s only two staff members.

Brantley’s duties include the budget and supervising of all office operations, acting as recorder for the senate’s meetings and its executive committee and providing support to the senate leadership.

“Maybe her most effective contribution is that she believes the university should be a great place to work, a great place to be a student and a great place with which to be associated,” “wrote Steven Craig, professor of economics, in his nomination letter.

As a Staff Excellence Award recipient, Brantley will receive a certificate and a check for $1,000.
