• Respectful: Treats people with appreciation and dignity. Respectfully allows for the opinions of others to be heard and acknowledged.
• Professional: Holds oneself accountable for thoughts, words, and actions, setting high standards for own behavior and communication.
• Proactive: Takes initiative to engage and volunteer within and outside of own department, identifies problems and solutions, and completes responsibilities with minimal guidance.

• Extraordinary efforts above and beyond the normal duties of the position;
• Performance substantially beyond expectation on a specific assignment, task or goal.
