Congratulations to our 2022 Nominees
The Governor’s Awards for Excellence, established in 1982, is the absolute highest honor a state employee is eligible to receive, and to be nominated for the award is a tremendous achievement. In 2022, two Carolina employees were nominated. We thank you for your effort and dedication to the Carolina community and to the State of North Carolina.
