The purpose of the Staff Awards Program is to promote service of the highest caliber to the Department. Two staff members receive the award each calendar year. An Awards Committee appointed by the Chair reviews nominated employees and recommends recipients to the Chair. Awards include staff members’ names added to a plaque displayed outside the Chair's office and monetary compensation. Official program guidelines are detailed in a PDF available here.
