AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE APPLICATION

The Award for Excellence is APPA's most prestigious institutional award, recognizing outstanding achievement in facilities management. The Award may be conferred upon the entire facility operation or upon individual departments.

All entries must include:

  1. Completed application form.
  2. An introductory abstract of no more than 200 words.
  3. Narrative of no more than five pages per each of the seven criteria described in this document.
  4. List of supporting materials for each of the seven criteria. This is a list of documentation that supports statements made in the narrative. DO NOT INCLUDE THESE DOCUMENTS WITH YOUR SUBMISSION. You should be prepared to make the listed documents available to evaluators during the site visit.

The Professional Affairs Committee will review and score your application, giving special consideration of how the applicant institution compares with peers in its region. The Committee will then contact the applicant to arrange a site visit to verify statements made in the application materials. After reviewing the report from the site visit, the Professional Affairs Committee will determine whether the institution meets the standards required to receive the Award for Excellence.
