Supreme Maintenance Organization (SMO) proudly celebrates the 30th anniversary of its J.D. Murphy Team Member of the Year Award, one of the most meaningful recognitions in our company. Each year, this honor is awarded to a team member who exemplifies excellence, integrity, and a deep commitment to our mission. With many deserving candidates in 2024, the decision was as difficult as ever.
We are thrilled to announce Maurice Shaw as the 2024 J.D. Murphy Team Member of the Year!
Maurice, who joined SMO in 2017, currently serves as a supervisor and has made an extraordinary impact across several client locations. Known for his consistent high performance, Maurice is respected for his work ethic, leadership, and dedication to customer satisfaction. His positivity, professionalism, and perseverance make him a standout within the SMO team.
At this year’s award ceremony, Maurice was honored with a custom acrylic plaque and a $1,000 cash prize, recognizing his outstanding contributions to our organization.
Maurice is a multi-time winner of both the iCare Award and Team Member of the Month, and he has been nominated for the J.D. Murphy Award on multiple occasions—a testament to his lasting influence and exceptional service.
Brandon Gibbs, SMO Account Manager, shared:
“Maurice has literally been my right-hand man—I’d be lost without him. His extensive knowledge of our daily operations is invaluable, and his positive, can-do attitude helps the team succeed. He often goes beyond what’s asked and makes a big impact not only on our team but also with the client’s employees. Maurice is truly an asset to SMO.”
Chris Collins, District Manager, added:
“Maurice’s attitude is outstanding. He’s incredibly patient and takes time to properly train new team members rather than just instructing them. He cares deeply about the success of both his team and the company. Maurice lives out SMO’s values every day and plays a key role in managing one of our most visible accounts.”
With so many remarkable team members, the J.D. Murphy Award is always a competitive honor. We are incredibly proud of Maurice Shaw for his well-earned recognition and ongoing impact. His leadership and character continue to inspire both our customers and fellow team members.
Congratulations, Maurice Shaw!
