Each year, through the Presidential Service
Awards, the ACUHO-I president recognizes
individuals and institutions that have made
a lasting impact on ACUHO-I and the campus
housing profession. President Beth McCuskey
recognized one institution and one individual
during the presentation of this year's awards
during the Annual Conference & Exposition.
The University of South Florida was recognized for the participation of its staff in leadership positions with both the ACUHO-I Executive
Board and the ACUHO-I Foundation, their role
in helping to expand the international reach
of ACUHO-I, contributions to ACUHO-I publications and conferences, and serving as a host
site for the recently expanded James C. Grimm
National Housing Training Institute (NHTI).
Sheila Meyer, director of finance and administration for the ACUHO-I Home Office, was
honored for her work with the Executive Board,
the Foundation trustees, and many of the
regional presidents to provide accurate, timely,
and unbiased financial information and for her
continued efforts to infuse more disciplined
financial procedures into the operations of the
Association and Foundation.
