FWC Commissioners honor employees December 5, 2007 Wednesday was a special day for several Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) employees attending the December meeting in Key Largo. Commissioners recognized and presented awards to employees for their years of service, dedication, achievements and heroism. Two former Commissioners also accepted FWC resolutions recognizing their service - Sandra Kaupe for her five years and David Meehan for eight years on the Commission. Dr. C. Tom Rainey of the Wildlife Foundation of Florida presented the 2007 Louise Ireland Humphrey Achievement Award to Victor Heller, assistant executive director of the FWC. The annual award honors FWC employees for outstanding service to the agency. Commissioners also honored Jeffery Bass and Captain James Koch, fishing guide, for their heroic efforts during a rescue operation of a boating accident victim in Key Largo. Jack Beal of Shikar-Safari Club International presented the 2007 Shikar-Safari Club International Officer of the Year Award to FWC Officer Brad Stanley. John White, retiring after 30 years of service from the FWC, also enjoyed a moment in the spotlight. “These awards recognize individuals who have gone above and beyond what their normal job requires,” said FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto. “They exemplify what it means to work for the FWC.” The FWC also honored Vic Dunaway, outdoor writer and founding editor of Florida Sportsman magazine, for his contributions to fish and wildlife conservation. The FWC presents awards during its final meeting each year. |
