Award of Distinction

The Award of Distinction program was established to recognize and reward outstanding employees who are innovative, positively impact organizational or statewide goals, demonstrate true leadership, act compassionately and courageously to serve the local or global community, and advance the importance and perception of state service. This award recognizes notable contributions above and beyond an employee's typical job responsibilities and serves as an example of excellence for others to follow. These meritorious achievements or accomplishments are so singularly outstanding that special recognition is justified.
