Annual Recognition Luncheon
December 16, 2005
The Facilities Division Recognition Luncheon was held in the Jane S. McKimmon Center on campus. Provost Larry Nielsen, Vice Chancellor Charles Leffler, Finance and Business, and Associate Vice Chancellor Kevin MacMaughton, Facilities, thanked the Facilities Division staff for what they do for the university. Mr. Leffler recognized various employees for individual achievements.
Prior to the speeches, a very amusing, Facilities-produced video was shown. It was a lighthearted look at what a number of staff do for NC State University. The audience throughly enjoyed the show as was evident by the uproarious laughter throughout the showing. Thanks are due to Rob Yaeger, Assistant Director, Facilities Information Systems, and David Wynne, Construction Renovation Technician, who wrote, filmed, directed, and produced a truly memorable and really fun event.

Charles Leffler, Associate Vice Chancellor,
Facilities Division, encouraging his staff of 600+ employees to
join together in achieving TEAM EXCELLENCE

communication among staff and customers, provide better customer service
and make Facilites Division the best possible place to work.
During the months of March and April, Facilities employees met to share
their ideas on how best to achieve those goals. They suggested a number
of ways to do just that during 50 Idea Generation Workshops. Photos
below were taken at some of the meetings.
Following
the 50 Idea Generation Workshops, the
Leadership Team met to work on implementation strategies. Photos below
were taken during the Leadership Team meetings.
The Leadership Team suggested a number of ideas to work
on first. They met with their staffs during the summer months to develop
action plans. Photos that follow were taken during some of those meetings.
As a result of the TEAM EXCELLENCE program, Facilities
Division is working even harder to improve communication with customers.
The pictures below reflect efforts to keep campus customers informed.
