Innovations Award Program The National Association of State Facilities Administrators (NASFA) Innovations Award was established in 1993 and recognizes outstanding achievement by a state facility organization for establishing an innovative new program or improving an existing program. The program is intended to enhance efficiency and effectiveness in state government. The Innovations Award is granted to the submission that demonstrates significant improvements to a program or service provided by a State Facility Administrator. The best solution is one that is: adopted and integrated into the submitting State’s program, provides significant measurable factors which impact the organization and is something that others in State Government may learn from or adopt for use in their own State. Innovation does not have to involve costly investments or new technologies. Innovation is simply a change in process or thinking that improves the effectiveness and performance of the outcome.
The winner(s) of the NASFA Innovations Award(s) are recognized at an awards banquet during the National Conference & Resource Expo. The award winner is presented with a plaque, and one representative from the winner program will be reimbursed for travel, accommodations and one complimentary state registration. Winning programs are highlighted on NASFA’s Web site. For more information visit the NASFA website.
