Nominate a Co-Worker for an Outstanding Service Award

March 18, 2008

The Human Resources Division has announced the 25th Annual Commonwealth of Massachusetts Performance Recognition Program, a program which allows the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to thank its outstanding employees who demonstrate exemplary leadership, strong commitment, and an extraordinary work ethic.

This program gives formal recognition to Commonwealth employees who make meaningful contributions, which distinguish them from their peers. These special awards focus attention on consistent, positive achievements by both individuals and teams of state employees, and recognize those who demonstrate: innovation and dedication to their work, concern for the public trust and a commitment to excellence.

PRP culminates in an awards ceremony and luncheon that will be held at the Sheraton Boston on November 21, 2008.

Awards are given in three categories:

  • Commonwealth Citation for Outstanding Performance awarded to employees who are honored for their exemplary work performance
  • Eugene H. Rooney, Jr. Public Service Award for employees who have made a meaningful contribution in the area of human resource development and training
  • Manuel Carballo Governor's Award for Excellence in Public Service given to ten individuals or groups of employees who have demonstrated outstanding leadership, innovation and creativity
