About the Awards
The Prudential - Davis Productivity Awards are made possible through
the generosity of Prudential, as Anchor Sponsor, and the vision
of the late J.E. Davis and A.D. Davis, co-founders of Winn-Dixie
Stores Inc. and co-founders of Florida TaxWatch. Since 1989, the
Davis Productivity Award program has publicly recognized and rewarded
state employees and work units whose work significantly and measurably
increases productivity and promotes innovation to improve the delivery
of state services and save money for Florida taxpayers and businesses.
The program is a major government improvement initiative chaired
by Lt. Governor Jeff Kottkamp and co-sponsored by Florida TaxWatch,
The Florida Council of 100, and the State of Florida. In addition
to Prudential's generous support, numerous corporate, individual
and philanthropic contributors supplement the awards program.
The 2009 awards competition attracted 568 nominations for innovations and productivity improvements worth $342 million in cost savings, cost avoidances and increased revenue for state government. Over the past 21 years, award winners have posted a total of $6.3 billion in added value for Florida taxpayers and businesses.
The awards program also recognizes achievements that are particularly
beneficial to citizens and the private sector and that further the
Priorities of the Crist/Kottkamp Administration, which are: safety
and security, property tax and insurance reform, education, adoption/abuse
prevention, civil rights, healthcare, open government and plain
language.
We welcome and encourage all state government employees and private
citizens to submit nominations, and look forward to even greater
taxpayer improvements in next year's program.
