The deadline for Distinguished Service Award nominations has been extended to Monday, April 26, at 5 p.m. The nomination form is available on the HR portal. Please provide concrete, specific examples to support your nomination. Exemplary writing skills are not required! All nomination forms should be submitted to the LLCC Human Resources office.

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 nominees — through their performance, attitude, behavior and action — put 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.
