Two from Facilities Operations Earn Prestigious Award
APPA (formerly the Association of Physical Plant Administrators) recently awarded two members of UConn’s Facilities Operations staff with a special award. Associate Directors Mickey Gorman and Ryan Steinberg earned the “Effective and Innovative Practices Award” for their presentation entitled “Building Your Workforce from Within: Future Workforce for UConn Facilities Operations.”
This award recognizes programs and processes that enhance service delivery, lower costs, increase productivity, improve customer service, generate revenue, or otherwise benefit the educational institution.
The presentation was designed for trainees in Facilities Operations at UConn and for members of the Skilled Trades Apprentice program.
The award was presented by Lalit Agarwal, President and CEO of APPA, at the Annual Eastern Region of APPA Conference last month in King of Prussia, Pa.
