The deadline for nominations for the 2014 Governor’s Award for Excellence, created to express appreciation for outstanding achievements by state employees, has been extended to 5 p.m., Friday, Aug. 22. This award is the highest honor a state employee may receive for noteworthy service to state government and the people of North Carolina.
Each state agency and university can submit nominees for the award. Employees can be nominated by a supervisor, subordinate or coworker. Permanent faculty/staff members are eligible for nomination; nominees’ contributions should reflect credit upon themselves and the University. The nominee’s accomplishments do not have to be entirely within the scope of normal job duties but must be so outstanding as to justify special recognition.
Nominations must be received by the Human Resources Department. Nomination forms are online or contact Rebecca Evans, employee award and recognition coordinator, (704-687-8673, rlevans@uncc.edu).
