National George C. Askew Award
The Askew Award is given to acknowledge the efforts of those who have
demonstrated exemplary work in the completion of their CPM projects, which are a vital component of each participant's training.
As stated on the award medallion, these are given "For the utilization of management practices exemplifying the philosophy
of the American Academy of Certified Public Managers
in the completion of an exceptional curriculum project."
The
Award is named after George Askew who was the first person to receive a CPM designation. George Askew served as the President
of the Georgia Society of Certified Public Managers in 1990 and 1991 and as President for the American Academy of Certified Public Managers
in 1992-93. Several years later, George Banks, a Past President of both the Florida Society and the American Academy, recommended that a national
award in Askew’s honor be developed to recognize students’ efforts throughout all states’ CPM programs.
We are proud to announce Sheila Shafer as the winner of the 2007 National
George C. Askew Award.
