Employee Volunteering
Volunteer of the Month, January 2012:
Mark Alfano,
McMaster Employee Spirit Society
Congratulations to Mark for his outstanding efforts to plan and execute the M.E.S.S. Basketball Event which was held on January 14, 2012.
Mark is in his third year of being Chair of the McMaster Employee Spirit Society and is a valuable and reliable committee member whose knowledge in athletic game day logistics is a true asset. During the Basketball Event, Mark went above and beyond by making sure all employees who attended the game were fully engaged in the day's festivities. Mark also did a wonderful job at making sure the M.E.S.S. committee and the Athletics Department collaborated together to execute a seamless event. On the day of the Basketball Event when a vendor failed to complete one of their duties, Mark stepped in to complete the job without hesitation. Mark's hard work and dedication made him a key player and contributor to the overall success of the M.E.S.S. Basketball Event. Thank you Mark for all that you do for our McMaster community!
