The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently recognized Susan Kaplan, new team leader for the UA Library's Financial and Administrative Support Team, for outstanding performance.

Kaplan was awarded the Bronze Medal, which is the highest honor a federal agency gives for teams or individuals whose superior performance brings about an increase in a department's efficiency and effectiveness.

Kaplan, who was with the NOAA before joining the UA Library in November 1999, was recognized for her facilitation of workgroup meetings that discussed the results of NOAA's first survey of workplace attitudes. Kaplan worked with more than a thousand people in departmental locations throughout the United States.

Kaplan received her masters in public policy from the University of Michigan and has attended the Center for Creative Leadership.
