The ceremony was marked by a drum tribute
from Eagle Elk Council Pipe and the White Buffalo Singers and
the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award for Exceptional
Leadership in Safety for Daryl Bacquet accepted by his wife,
Sharon. Other Bacquet family members were in attendance.
The person distinguished by peers as this year’s leader in
the promotion of safety at CHLA is Erwin Morales, Engineering
Manager. He was nominated for his involvement in safety for
all staff, encouragement of employees to follow regulations to
better serve our patients and staff, and by going above and
beyond. With the award, came a prize of $250 from a Foundation
special fund established by the Bacquet family in Daryl’s
memory.
Congratulations again to all the other Safety
Award nominees: Julie Fiore, Barbara Hollen, Mary Kearns-Jonkers,
Ana Menjivar, Ken Mitsuhata, Donna Newell, Sherry Nolan, Donald
Sebek, Steve Snitzer, Kathleen Stevenson, James Tokita and Elba
Toledo.
And special thanks to the many people who helped make it
special - the Daryl Bacquet Safety Award Selection Committee

Hollowell, Sharon Chinn, Jennifer Kozakowski, Jose Mogollon, and
Lisa Schiller), Tish Rodriguez, and Food Services to name a few.
Please take a moment to congratulate Erwin on his
accomplishment!
