2017 Prudential Productivity Award Ceremony

Donald L Tucker Civic Center

Wednesday, June 14 2017

Tallahassee, FL 32301

Our team FSU ID# 404 was given the 2017 Prudential Productivity Award at a ceremony at the Donald L Tucker Civic Center. The doors opened at 11 AM and we went in and sat in an area designated for FSU teams. We had more than a few teams. All our team members and the Provost joined and walked over to receive the plaque. After receiving the plaque, our picture was taken and we gathered some lunch. Fortunately, there were several options.

Then there several speakers including the team from the organization that gives the award, the agency heads, the sponsors, and coordinators.

The Florida Tax Watch web site describes the award the following way:

The Prudential Productivity Awards are made possible through the generosity of Prudential, as Anchor Sponsor, and the vision of the late J.E. Davis and A.D. Davis, co-founders of Winn-Dixie Stores Inc. and co-founders of Florida TaxWatch. Since 1989, the Awards program has publicly recognized and rewarded state employees and work units whose work significantly and measurably increases productivity and promotes innovation to improve the delivery of state services and save money for Florida taxpayers and businesses. Over the 28-year program, more than 16,000 nominations have been received, and awards have been given to state employees for saving or maximizing state dollars to the tune of more than $9.2 billion.

Our team consisted of the following:

FSU ID#: 404- William Sweeney, Thayumanasamy Somasundaram, Claudius Mundoma, James Stephens, Donna Trumbower, Carlos Murphy, Kyle Gower-Winter, and Rebekah Dorn

The award itself be given on Wednesday, Jun 14, 2017 time and location to be determined.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the project which allowed us to win the prize.
