Florida’s
Mr. CmPS Wins “YES” Award
Fred Harris, Florida Future
Problem Solving’s Mr. CmPS was surprised at the opening ceremonies
of the International Competition in June when it was announced that he
was the
2007
recipient of the prestigious “YES” award.
This award is presented to one
outstanding volunteer from all the FPS affiliates.
Everyone who has ever experienced Florida Future Problem Solving knows
Fred
because he is involved in many aspects of FPS including skits and our
website
but his true love is Community Problem Solving. Fred coordinates
and
evaluates all of Florida’s CmPS projects.
His nomination was accompanied
by glowing endorsements from coaches and students.
One comment made by Dr. Donald Treffinger of the Center for Creative
Learning was:
“Fred’s interactions with
students present what I consider the most compelling evidence of his
strength.
He demonstrates warmth and friendliness, but he also gives teams clear
and helpful feedback.
His commitment to their growth and success is immediately clear to
students and to adults as well.”
The Florida
Future Problem Solving Program is extremely proud of our YES winner!
