Superior Accomplishment Awards Program Kickoff Nomination Period: September 9 to October 15

Ed Poppell, Vice President

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 16th 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, 2003, to July 31, 2004.

Please don’t miss this chance to recognize those among us who make the extra effort to contribute. This year’s nomination period began September 9 and runs through October 15, 2004.

Division-level winners each receive $200 along with a certificate of appreciation and memento coffee mug. Each division winner then is eligible to be selected for one of six university-level awards of $1,500 each or one of eight $500 awards sponsored by The Gabor Agency (four awards) and HRH of Gainesville Inc. (four awards). In addition, each of the six category winners and his or her guest will be invited to attend a University of Florida football game in the President’s Box.
