Kim Sheppard was supposed to present the awards for the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) but instead was surprised by getting an award of recognition for her own selfless efforts (2020-2021 LFCC Chair for Oklahoma and North Texas).
Nearly three hundred Oklahoma federal servants turned out for the occasion. A total of 130 nominations were submitted for all of the award categories. The event was emceed by Chris Hooper, Executive Director of the OKFEB, and awards were presented by Judge David Engel of the Social Security Administration.
Awards were designed by the Dale Rogers Training Center. Certificate printing/design courtesy of Media Solutions at the Aeronautical Center.

Congratulations to all Aeronautical Center nominees and winners. The Oklahoma Federal Executive Board is proud to set aside time to honor and recognize the outstanding efforts of our federal employees and military personnel.
Congratulations to all!
