Superior Accomplishment Awards Nomination Period Runs September 12 through October 31

Paula Varnes Fussell, Vice President for Human Resource Services

I am pleased to announce a call for nominations for the University of Florida 2012 Superior Accomplishment Awards program. The purpose of the program—now in its 23rd year—is to recognize Academic Personnel, TEAMS, and USPS employees who have contributed outstanding service in their fields during the previous academic year. This year’s program covers the time period of August 1, 2010, through July 31, 2011, and features two new awards in the categories of Diversity & Inclusion in the Workplace and Community Service.

Please don’t miss this chance to recognize those employees who make the extra effort to contribute. The nomination period will run from September 12 through October 31, 2011.

Division-level winners each receive $200 along with a certificate of appreciation and University memento.  Each division winner then is eligible to be selected for one of eight university-level awards of $2,000 each or one of eight $1,000 awards sponsored by The Gabor Agency (four awards) and HRH of Gainesville Inc. (four awards).

For additional information about the Superior Accomplishment Awards program, nomination criteria, and nomination forms, please visit the awards’ web site at http://www.hr.ufl.edu/recognition/saa. The divisional award committees are responsible for the nomination processes and for winner selections in their divisions. Self-nominations are not accepted.

UF’s Superior Accomplishment Awards program was developed to recognize deserving university employees and is coordinated by the Office of Human Resource Services. The success of this program depends on all of our participation as we seek to express appreciation for exceptional employees and their superior accomplishments. Thank you for your support of this program.
