Please explain the outstanding contributions of the nominee during the month of nomination

Being a new Community Advisory can often be an intimidating feat, let alone having to start during the middle of the year with a community that has already been established. I have been impressed with Amanda because she jumped into this job head first and whole-heartedly. She never shyed away from a situation and was always open for questions and comments. Amanda really took the time to get to know the residents and connect them to eachother through great programming. One of Amanda's best qualities as a CA is that she is open and easy to get along with. I beleive this is what enabled her to jump into Burroughs hall and transition into her new leadership position so well. Not only has Amanda gotten to know her residents, she has put on some interestings programs. One of them being a communication program dealing with lego's. Not only was this program organized and advertised well, it was a success and fun to attend. Amanda has also been a wonderful addition to the staff. She is willing to help out with programs and work with her fellow staff members when working out schedules. She is also supportive to other staff and government members when listening to issues within the hall and gives sound advice. I can also say that Amanda has become one of my great friends. In her time here, she has not only worked with the residents and other staff members, but with me as her Co-CA. I was able to give her advice when she needed it as well as recieve support from her. I can honestly say that I wish I had more time to work with Amanda because she is an amazing Community Advisor as well as a beautiful person and loving friend.
