Recognize.</em> That was the theme of the 2008 Alberta Public Service staff events held between September 12th and November 4th in seven locations across the province. And start a wave, they did.</p> <p>Different deputy ministers served as Master of Ceremonies for each of the events and their competitive edge showed when they tried to outdo each other with their best  stadium wave .</p> <p> Our goal as a deputy ministers team , said Deputy Minister of Executive Council,  is to bring Alberta Public Service employees together to celebrate our accomplishments and highlight how we proudly work together as one big team. </p> <p>The events were designed to be fun and casual and that mission was accomplished. Several deputy ministers attended each of the events and mingled with staff for brunch and the program that followed.</p> <p>The events, attended by a total of 3800 public service employees from across the province, also included an interactive exercise in which staff shared their ideas for recognizing and rewarding good work.</p> <p>At the close of each of the events, deputy ministers issued a challenge to the staff to  think about how you can make a difference in your workplace and start a wave of your own. From the feedback so far, they seem to have done just that.</p> </div> <!-- close news --> <div id="spotlight" class="columnRightThird section"> <div> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img src="images/pics/event_preview.gif" valign="center" alt="Event Preview" /><br /> <a href="08-agenda.html#watch">Watch the Start a Wave!
