A letter submitted nominating Flores:
2012 Teamwork Award: Leandra Flores  - image0“To begin with, Leandra is absolutely deserving of more recognition than she receives. Leandra has been a loyal and valuable member of the pediatrics team for more than 13 years and she one of the finest people I know. She best demonstrates the “service excellence” and “teamwork” characteristics in the stories of staff and faculty who have needed extraordinary attention in extraordinary circumstances. I have personally witnessed Leandra go above and beyond any reasonable expectation to help do whatever administrative work needs to be done when a member of the staff and faculty lose a loved one, experience a personal or professional crisis, or just plain get caught behind the eight ball and need help getting back on track. Leandra’s caring, be it for a workmate or a new acquaintance, is beyond measure. Her commitment to being an excellent servant is humbling; she is ever faithful to the task at hand and the greater goals of the department and school at the same time. Her commitment to the needs to those around her are the glue that make the pediatrics team stick together.”
