AFPC officials seek public service award nominations

Air Force Personnel Center Public Affairs

May 29, 2010 - RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas - Awards and decorations officials at the Air Force Personnel Center are seeking nominations for the 2010

Government Employees Insurance Company's Public Service Awards.

The GEICO Public Service Awards were established in 1980 to recognize the contributions of hard working and talented government employees.

This year, GEICO added additional categories to include all young federal employees and retired civilian federal employees. In all, six awards are presented to federal employees based on four categories:substance abuse prevention and treatment; fire prevention and safety; physical rehabilitation; and traffic safety and accident prevention.

Nominees are judged principally on the impact of their work- and non-work related contributions and the extent they have served as an inspiration to others and brought credit to the federal service.

Organizations and base-level personnel must contact their major command, field operating agency, direct reporting unit or MAJCOM equivalent for applicable suspense dates and additional information regarding nomination procedures.

Each MAJCOM, FOA or DRU may submit one individual in each of the four categories. Completed nomination packages must be sent to AFPC by Oct. 31, 2010.

For more information about the GEICO Military Service Awards, visit the AFPC personnel services website or call the Total Force Service Center at (800) 525-0102.
