The Superior Honor Award is an award of the United States Department of State. Similar versions of the same award exist for the former U.S. Information Agency, Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, and USAID. It is presented to groups or individuals in recognition of a special act or service or sustained extraordinary performance covering a period of one year or longer. The award consists of a certificate signed by an assistant secretary, an official of equivalent rank or the Chief of Mission. While the Foreign Affairs Manual still stipulates award of a medal set, per a 2007 ALDAC (a cable intended for distribution to all diplomatic and consular posts), medals are no longer issued. ==Criteria== The following criteria are applicable to granting a Superior Honor Award: * Contributions, which had a substantial impact on the accomplishment of the agency’s missions, goals, or objectives; * Accomplishments, which substantially contributed to the advancement of U.S. Government interests; * Exceptional performance in one or more areas of the employee’s official duties as defined in the Work Requirements Statement (Foreign Service) or Performance Plan (Civil Service); * Innovation and creativity in accomplishing long-term tasks or projects; * Contributions that resulted in increased productivity and efficiency, and economy of operations at agency level; and/or * Exceptional devotion to duty under adverse conditions. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Superior Honor Award」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
