AFOP recognized award winners at the 2023 AFOP National Conference in San Diego, California, during the AFOP Excellence Awards ceremony on Thursday, September 28.
Each year, AFOP member agencies implementing the highly successful National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP) nominate standout individuals and employers for award consideration. Earlier this year, the AFOP Excellence Awards Committee - chaired by Alexis Franks, AFOP board member and the southeast director of workforce and career services for the Telamon Corporation - reviewed and scored nominees and produced this list of awardees. AFOP is proud to announce those winners today.
"AFOP gives these awards each year to acknowledge farmworkers who have excelled in training, individuals who have gone the extra mile for their farmworker clients, and employers who are committed to changing their communities - and, indeed, the nation - one good job at a time," said AFOP Executive Director Daniel Sheehan. "We share a commitment to serving farmworkers that moves us to do all we can to make the lives of those laboring in our fields a little bit more stable, a little bit healthier, a little bit better. Congratulations to all our winners."
