We encourage you to review the FAQs or view previous years’ Public Sector Champions prior to submitting your nomination.

Categories

Excellence in Business Process Transformation

Evaluation criteria:

  • How has implementing a new or unique business process transformed the way your nominee’s office functions day to day? How has this impacted their ability to service the community? Examples may include-* — but are not limited to — new process implementation, updated technology deployment or change management.
  • Applicants should demonstrate how increased levels of quality have been realized and list the business benefits. Include any key performance indicators to track results. Examples may include — but are not limited to — efficiency gains, resource savings or shortened processing times.

Excellence in Office Leadership

Evaluation criteria:

  • How has your nominated individual displayed high levels of leadership and accountability within their office in order to deliver excellence in servicing the community?
  • Applicants should demonstrate ways in which the individual has increased levels of quality or has improved community outreach within their office in the last year.

Excellence in Crisis Management

Evaluation criteria:

  • How has your nominee stepped up in a time of need to provide critical services and outreach to your community?
  • Applicants should describe a critical moment or event that impacted the community — for instance, a natural disaster, significant change in governance structures or a community response to a policy decision — and explain how the nominee effectively responded to and managed this crisis.

Excellence in Community Service

Evaluation criteria:

  • Do you know someone who is an outstanding member of your community, either as an office leader or a community leader? This person may have demonstrated tremendous dedication to an office, a social charitable group or a community board, such as for education or fire services. (The nominee must be a government official or civil servant.)
  • Applicants should describe the nominee’s cause: how long have they been a part of this cause, and what impact has this individual had? The more detailed, the better. As an example, any information about the impact and outcomes on affected individuals’ lives, or about any achievements that stemmed from the nominee’s efforts will be a help to the evaluation committee.
