An employee from Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, is the Air Force nominee for the 56th annual William A. Jump Memorial Foundation Award, Air Force Personnel Center officials here announced May 6.

He is Jude Sorg.

The award is presented to a civilian career employee of the federal government, who is 37 years old or younger, for exceptional service in public administration, officials said. Applicants must demonstrate an outstanding competence and interest in an area of public administration and show leadership in the direction or development of programs. They must act creatively and with resourcefulness to accomplish goals while closely adhering to the basic principles of enlightened public service and serve with the utmost integrity and dedication to duty.

Mr. Sorg's supervisor cited his unselfish commitment to the Okinawan Special Olympics, the Patrick Air Force Base, Fla., air show and numerous basewide events that have visibly touched the lives of thousands of Airmen and their families spanning three continents during the past 10 years.

This award was established in 1950 honoring the late William A. Jump, budget and finance officer of the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Jump was recognized throughout the federal government and nationally for his leadership and distinguished contributions to effective public administration. (Courtesy of AFPC News Service)
