Who Will Receive the 2024 Distinguished Service Award?

Nominations Begin Today!

The Distinguished Service Award recognizes more than the “employee of the year.” This award is given to LLCC employees who demonstrate exemplary leadership and service to the college community, promote a student-focused environment and exhibit a strong commitment to the college’s core values. Service is a matter of the job. Leadership can be provided in subtle ways. This award recognizes those who provide service and leadership beyond the minimum. Nominations should clearly describe what qualities exhibited by the nominee through his/her performance, attitude, behavior and action puts them in the elite class of “Distinguished Service Award Recipient.”

Recipients of the Distinguished Service Award will be selected from the nomination pool. If no one is nominated in a particular category, no award will be given. The Committee does not widen the pool beyond those nominations received, so your nomination is important! The selection committee is comprised of past recipients of the award and other members of the college community. All employment classifications are represented.

To make a nomination, please submit the nomination form along with an essay about the nominee. The essay can be as long or short as you want it to be so long as concrete examples are provided of the areas identified in the nomination form. The information provided in the essay will be the basis of the evaluation for the selection committee.

The deadline for nominations to be submitted is Friday, April 19, 2024. For more information, please feel free to contact Kaelyn Bormida at 786-2214 or kaelyn.bormida@llcc.edu.
