They must have demonstrated high visibility and efficiency, pursued vigorous and constructive relations with post management, and acted as an effective conduit of information between AFSA, Washington, and employees as post.

Please nominate a deserving post rep at your post. Any questions about the award should be directed to AFSA's Coordinator for Special Awards and Outreach Perri Green at green@afsa.org or 202-719-9700.
