BACKGROUND:

On March 21, 2013, the Board approved the "Employee of the Month and Employee of the Year Awards Program." Each Department will submit one employee to be nominated as the "Employee of the Month." The County Administrator will then select one employee from the nominations. The employee who is selected will receive a check in the amount of $250, a Proclamation, and a plaque that will hang in the lobby of the Ernie Lee Magaha Government Building for that month.

Various departments, outside agencies, special interest groups, civic and religious organizations in recognition of specific events, occasions, people, etc., request Proclamations.

Information provided on the Proclamation is furnished by the requesting party and placed in the proper acceptable format for BCC approval by the County Administration staff.

Board approval is required by Board Policy Section I, A (6).
