Congratulations to the Administrator Leadership Award Recipients
Congratulations to honorees, Dr. Elena Saenz, Ms. Donna Pina, and Dr. Richard Cerkovnik, on receiving a 2022 Administrator Leadership Award. Montgomery College president, Dr. Jermaine F. Williams, presented the awards during the Administrators Leadership Conference last week. Read more about the awards and honorees below.
Excellence in Innovation Award goes to Dr. Elena Saenz, associate senior vice president for academic affairs. Dr. Saenz's imagination and leadership brought her teams together to minimize the impact of the pandemic on the Dual Enrollment, Early College, and Achieving the Promise Academy (ATPA) students.
Excellence in Serving Students Award goes to Ms. Donna Pina, director of foundation finance. Ms. Pina's dedication to the College's mission is especially evident when she is working directly with students, especially those hit hardest by the pandemic.
Excellence in Leading a Collegewide Initiative Award goes to Dr. Richard Cerkovnik, director of the i-STEM network. Dr. Cerkovnik‘s leadership in managing the pandemic-related federal and state grants totaling $79 million has been exceptional.

Summer Pause on SRAs, Teachers’ Pension, and 10-Month Employee Deductions
As you may be aware, deductions for Supplemental Retirement Annuities (SRAs), Teachers’ Pension System, and 10-month employees are based on 20 pays and therefore are stopped over the summer. Pay received between June 17 and August 26 will not include the SRAs deduction. Employees who are enrolled in the Employees’ Pension System and 12-month employees have deductions taken all year long (26 pays). Full-time faculty who are enrolled in the Deferred Pay program have their pay spread out over 26 pays but remain on 20 pays for insurance deductions. View the FY23 pay periods and pay dates schedule. If you have any questions, please contact the HRSTM Benefits Team.

Employee Matters Marks 100 Issues
The June 8, 2022 issue of Employee Matters marks the 100th issue of the newsletter. The Office of Human Resources and Strategic Talent Management (HRSTM) launched Employee Matters on April 15, 2020, during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic as a communication vehicle to better connect with employees after Montgomery College had entered remote work status. We hope that the newsletter served to provide timely information and resources to support and connect College employees on navigating the ever-changing conditions of the pandemic during these last two years.
Montgomery College has thrived and prevailed during unimaginable conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic—a testament to the agility and resilience of MC employees. See the first issue of Employee Matters and just how far we've come.
