2012 Winners While OCSEA administers the union’s scholarship program, the Les Best Scholarship, an outside panel of independent judges makes the award determinations to ensure fairness and impartiality. This year’s distinguished panel of judges included Petee Talley, Secretary-Treasurer of the Ohio AFL-CIO and national board member of the A. Philip Randolph Institute; Stephanie Sanders, Associate Director of Enrollment for The Ohio State University, who oversees OSU’s competitive admissions policies; and Jill McNaughton, retired guidance counselor from Grandview Heights High School. This is the third year this distinguished panel has judged the contest. The Les Best judges score each applicant using a point factoring system that takes into account the following: For the Members and Spouses categories, judges score based on 1) an essay and 2) community service. For the Dependents category, the point factoring system is based on 1) an essay, 2) community service and extra curricular activities, and 3) grades. Scores from each judge are added together and then averaged. The top score-getters from each category are awarded the scholarships. “During these hard economic times, we must do everything we can to support families who are struggling to make ends meet. The Les Best Scholarship program is one way we do that,” said OCSEA Board of Directors’ member Doug Mosier, whose committee, the Membership and Public Affairs Committee, oversees the program. “Every year, we get some sensational applicants. We wish we could give more,” said Mosier. "Thank you so much for awarding me the OCSEA Les Best Scholarship! I really do appreciate the award, because it takes a huge financial stress off of me, with college being so expensive!" ~Rachel Mikolay 2012 Les Best Scholarship winner OCSEA Les Best Scholarship Judges for 2012 Stephanie Sanders Associate Director of Enrollment Services, The Ohio State University Jill McNaughton Guidance Counselor, Grandview Heights High School Petee Talley Secretary-Treasurer Ohio AFL-CIO 14 Public Employee Quarterly Summer 2012
