Employee of the Month

The Classified Senate is proud to announce that we will give shout outs or "stormies" to recognize and value the professional contributions of our classified staff at Napa Valley College. The STORMY is intended to acknowledge an outstanding action, endeavor, or project of a classified professional. This differs from the Classified Professional of the Year award in that it is based on a one-time endeavor and it will be presented at the end of each semester. The recipient will receive a certificate and a special surprise! To nominate a classified staff member, please email M'Kormik at [email protected] or Omar at [email protected]. Please inlcude the name of the nominee and why you are nominating them. We may include these nominations as regular "shouts outs" in our Newsletters as well.
