The Employee Recognition Committee, made up of staff from all departments within HACA, SHCC and AAHC, has a two-fold purpose. The committee reviews staff nominations and selects the Employees of the Quarter and Year, while also managing the Voluntary Employee Fund that pays for various staff events throughout the year.

Employees of the Quarter are selected from nominations submitted by HACA and SHCC staff members. The committee reviews each submission and selects the employee who has demonstrated extraordinary dedication to the agency through work performance, attendance and volunteer efforts. The Employee of the Year is selected from the four Employees of the Quarter and is voted on by the entire agency.

The Employee of the Year for 2007-2008 is Martin Baca

Employees of the Quarter for 2007 - 2008 are as follows:
1st Quarter - Neal O'Mahoney
2nd Quarter - Martin Baca
3rd Quarter - Ann Hitner
4th Quarter - Jeannette Miller

The Employee Fund supports a variety of recreational activities for staff. This year the funds allowed employees to enjoy a summer-time family picnic and barbecue, Thanksgiving Dinner and holiday party at the Omni Hotel Southpark. The committee also provides birthday gift cards to all employees. Group activities sponsored by the committee help unify a constantly growing staff by bringing them together to socialize in a relaxed, non-work environment.
