The purpose of the program is to recognize either individual employees or teams who have designed and implemented a significant innovation in the District. Each location selects a nominee to be submitted for consideration for the District-wide award. The winner of each location award will then become a nominee for the District-wide PSS Employee of the Year Award. The winner of the District-wide award is selected by the Professional Support Staff Executive Council. The recipient of this award is selected by the vice presidents of Student Development from a group of nominees submitted by the colleges.
Selection is based on dedication to students and service to the student development areas.
Each year one faculty or administrative retiree and one professional support staff retiree are selected for the Hall of Honor Award. The selection criteria and process are administered by District Human Resources.
