PRESENTATION OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY
PURPOSE
An annual award to one or more managers in the
Federal Government. The purpose of the awards
is to establish impetus for the continuance of
outstanding leadership and professional excel-
lence in promoting effective management of
paperwork in the Federal Government.
"Paperwork" covers the totality of records
activities from creation, through arrangement
and use, to final destruction. It covers every
type of recording media. It is present in every
office for it is the integral systems part of
administrative support work, management infor-
mation flow, and written communications. From
the system comes the management effort to channel
and control paperwork so that it contributes to
the goals and objectives of the organization.
Automation, in its many aspects, is a most im-
portant consideration in the scheme for managing
paperwork. Because of the nature of Government,
paperwork not only is present in internal oper-
ations, but involves the public on many fronts.
NATURE OF AWARD
A medallion mounted on a walnut plaque will be
given to the nominee selected.
ELIGIBILITY
All employees of the Legislative, Judicial and
Executive Branches of the Federal Government are
eligible.

on or before July 1, 1967.
One (1) originally-signed nomination and three (3) copies should be

DOCUMENTATION
Present the best possible case for your nominee. The material you supply
must not only be used by AMS for judging, but for publications. Therefore,
it is important that the submission adequately describe the nominee's
contribution to effective paperwork.. Since there will be no time for
follow-up between the Administrative Management Society and the agency,
it follows that the nomination submission should be adequately documented.
While good documentation is desired, the Society would also like to stress
the importance of keeping the documentation to a manageable minimum.
SELECTION
From the nominations received, the Administrative Management Society will
select those to receive the award. The Society will convene a special board
for this purpose.
PRESENTATION OF AWARD
Awards will be presented to those selected at an Award Presentation Luncheon,
12 noon, September 26, 1967. General expenses will be assumed by the
Administrative Management Society, except that each person attending (other
than the award winner and official guests) will pay an entrance fee,
partially to defray cost of his attendance.
