Employee / Team of the Quarter Nomination

Have you been inspired by an exemplary co-worker? Or seen a team work above and beyond on a project?

Since 1991, the City of San Rafael has recognized an Employee of the Quarter and Team of the Quarter, for exceptional contributions to the City.  Teams can consist of a department or division, or a cross-functional group that worked on a specific project.

This a peer-to-peer program: any staff member may nominate any other staff member or team. Our hope is to recognize as many people as possible, as often as possible, for all of the great work that happens at the City.

Fill out the electronic form below OR download the Employee - Team Of The Quarter Nomination Form  and e-mail your completed nomination to human.resources@cityofsanrafael.org.
