Performance Recognition Program logo

The Commonwealth Citation for Outstanding Performance is given to Executive Branch and Higher Education employees of the Commonwealth who have demonstrated exemplary work performance. Giving recognition for outstanding performance is an opportunity for the Commonwealth to say thank you to its employees.

Individuals or groups can be nominated by supervisors, peers, professional colleagues, or others familiar with the person's work. Each agency's Selection Committee then reviews the nominations and final selections are approved by the Agency Head. The number of awards allotted to an agency is based on the total number of employees within the agency.
