The Governor's Award for Excellence in Public Service recognizes the outstanding work performance of state employees and their contributions to their agencies, professions and communities. I encourage you to nominate your fellow state employees for this award, acknowledging their commitment to excellence in serving the citizens of our great state.

Nominations will be accepted from the legislative, judicial and executive branches of state government. Nominees must be employed a minimum of half-time with one full year of employment. More than one employee can be nominated from an agency or department, but each nomination form must include only one individual. Employees can be nominated in one of the following six categories of excellence:

• Executive/Administration
• Professional
• Technical/Paraprofessional
• Office Support
• Trades/Crafts
• Services

For more information about the award and to submit nominations online or print a nomination form, you can visit the Council of State Employees web site at www.nd.gov/cose. All nominations must be completed on the form provided. Award recipients will be announced and recognized at a special awards luncheon during State Employee Recognition Week in September.
