CM 201-U Assistant Superintendent of Business and Operations Kenneth Surma was selected to receive the Skyward 2023 Leader in Excellence Award. After receiving several outstanding nominations from district peers and Skyward staff, Mr. Surma stood out because of his success in using Skyward to move and inspire people with new ideas and initiatives.
Nominated for his tireless work and contribution of skills toward improving the efficiency of District processes and procedures using Skyward, Mr. Surma has essentially made paper a thing of the past within the district’s business operations. A couple of statements from the nomination were:
“As Ken works to improve work processes, he also takes charge of trainings with district staff. Training includes handouts, presentations, hands-on experience, and his one-of-a-kind sense of humor, which all goes to show how hands-on he is, and how much he enjoys sharing his Skyward knowledge.”
“Ken believes in teamwork and doesn’t mind getting in the trenches to get the job done, whatever the job may be.”
As part of his win, Mr. Surma has received an invitation to be honored and presented his award at iCon, Skyward’s premier professional development event in March.
Congratulations, Mr. Surma!
