EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR and RISING STAR AWARDS

Nominate a Co-Worker 

You are invited and encouraged to nominate co-workers for the 2023 Employee of the Year and Rising Star awards. One person will be honored for each award. 

This honor began in 2001 when Dr. Joe and Amy Cass started an endowment to assist in funding the awards.

These annual awards recognize and reward the outstanding employees represented in two categories: CHS Employee of the Year CHS Rising Star of the Year. 

One $2,000 cash award will be given to the CHS Employee of the Year, and one $500 cash award will be given to the CHS Rising Star of the Year. 

Submit your nomination by January 20 using the Paylocity survey link. Learn more.
