2013 Superior Accomplishment Awards Program

Paula Varnes Fussell, Vice President for Human Resource Services

I am pleased to announce a call for nominations for the University of Florida’s Superior Accomplishment Awards program. The purpose of the program, now in its 24th year, is to recognize Academic Personnel; Technical, Executive Administrative, Managerial and Support (TEAMS) employees; and University Support Personnel System (USPS) employees who have contributed outstanding service in their fields during the academic year of August 1, 2011, to July 31, 2012.

This year’s nomination period will run from September 12 through October 31, with an awards ceremony slated for spring 2013. Division-level winners of the Superior Accomplishment Awards 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 Willis of Florida Inc. (four awards). In addition, each of the eight university- level winners and his or her guest will be invited to attend a University of Florida football game in the President’s Box next season.

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

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.
