LLCC Human Resources is seeking nominations for the annual Distinguished Service Awards presented each year during the employee recognition ceremony. 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.

Recipients of the Distinguished Service Award will be selected from the nomination pool. 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 Distinguished Service Award nomination form (available on HR Employee Portal) along with an essay about the nominee. 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, March 31, 2023. For more information, please feel free to contact Stacy Bond at 217-786-2214 or stacy.bond@llcc.edu.
