The CFPSA honours the contribution that all Staff of the Non-Public Funds, Canadian Forces (NPF Staff) make toward accomplishing our mission - we know that going that extra mile is what allows us to excel at serving those who serve. In recognition of the special effort that many of you make, CFPSA has two awards: the Divisional Employee or Team of the Year Merit Award; and, the President’s Award of Exceptional Merit. In this edition of the Apropos we recognize the recipients of the 2002 Divisional Employee or Team of the Year Merit Award for SISIP Financial Services and the Finance and Informatics division. The other divisions will be covered in the following edition as well as the President’s Award of Exceptional Merit.
