APPA 2003 Excellence Award

The Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers has awarded APPA's highest institutional honor -- The Award for Excellence in Facilities Management, to Iowa State University's Christopher Ahoy, Associate Vice President for Facilities, and his team in the Facilities Planning and Management Department.

The Award for Excellence is the result of an in-depth review and verification of the high level of excellence in the quality processes used and results achieved by the Facilities Planning and Management Department covering such areas as: purpose and goals; organization and resources; policies and procedures; communications and quality of relationships, and divisional planning. The APPA award committee commented that "The ISU Facilities Planning and Management Department has met, and in some cases exceeded the established requirements to receive this award."

The award provides education facilities professionals and their institutions with the opportunity to receive state, regional, and international recognition for their outstanding achievement of excellence in facilities management. A formal recognition presentation will be made during APPA's Educational Facilities Leadership Forum at the closing banquet on the evening of Tuesday July 29, 2003 at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee.
