ECC Recognizes Employees for Years of Service

Each year, East Central College recognizes the hard work and commitment of its employees during the Annual Service Awards Recognition banquet.

The banquet, held Sept. 22, is an opportunity to show that the college values the employee’s dedication to students’ needs and educational goals, and to the community ECC serves.

The service award banquet also is an opportunity for administrators ­to individually recognize each employee and the work that they do for the college and students.

This year’s banquet honored those who have been with ECC for 5, 10, 15, 25 and 30 years.

The ECC Culinary Department provided dinner and service for award winners and their guests under the direction of Chef Joe Hovland and Chef Gail Witt.
