About the Governor's Award Program
Established in 1990 by Governor Stan Stephens, the Governor’s Awards for Excellence in Performance is a statewide program to honor and recognize the exceptional accomplishments of outstanding state employees. Any state employee may nominate a fellow state employee for this award.
Each year, the governor and state leaders take this opportunity to acknowledge the impact of employees and celebrate their successes and outstanding accomplishments over the past year. The dedication of state employees can be seen every day across the state. These awards celebrate this dedication to Montana, both seen and unseen.
This year’s 2025 Governor’s Awards for Excellence in Performance recognizes 259 state employees for their accomplishments and dedicated public service and 4 recipients of the Governor’s Outstanding Service Award.
Congratulations to all the Governor's Awards for Excellence in Performance and the Governor's Outstanding Service Award recipients.
