The competitive Excellence in Management Award recognizes excellence in managing a stand-alone or combined in-house mail operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Nominees are evaluated based on cost savings or avoidance, management practice, personal growth, and personal traits of operations excellence. Mr. Broxton was submitted for consideration based on his innovations that created usage accountability and eliminated misuse of mailing processes. This resulted in 99% accuracy in departmental chargebacks and no reported and replaced lost packages. Among other notable accomplishments in operations and customer service, Mr. Broxton was cited for his creativity and leadership in transforming Postal and Warehouse Services into a full-service US Passport Acceptance facility that has generated $150,000 in revenue over the last three years. Additionally notable is his pursuit of a partnership with Amazon, which established five parcel lockers on campus- the first such arrangement in the state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Mr. Broxton began his career at 星空无限传媒 University as a Stock Clerk and became the unit head through several promotions over 12 years.
