Announcing the SAFS 2023 Outstanding Staff Award
This year’s Outstanding Staff Award has been presented to two exemplary colleagues who went above and beyond in their work in the face of a UW-wide financial system transition: Kenyon Foxworthy and Taylor Draper.
Based in the SAFS admin suite, Kenyon is the Operations Finance Manager and Taylor is the Front Desk and Fiscal Supervisor. Both have been recognized for their patience and perseverance with the roll-out of the new UWFT system.
Ensuring salaries were paid on time, developing workarounds and patches when the new system didn’t work as intended, and coaching faculty on new protocols in the midst of a challenging financial period, were just some of the ways both Kenyon and Taylor went above and beyond.
Each day brought new challenges, but Kenyon and Taylor completed an insurmountable list of new duties, on top of their normal daily workload, with efficiency, effectiveness, and a positive outlook.
We celebrate their invaluable contribute to SAFS, thank them for their work, and congratulate them on receiving the 2023 Outstanding Staff Award.
