Employee Recognition Programs
Memorial Program Guidelines
Purpose
The State of North Carolina has long been noted for loyal, efficient and dedicated employees
who provide valuable services in all areas of State government. Each year, there are State
employees who lose their lives while in the line of service. It seems appropriate that we
acknowledge the value of these employees and the service they provided by creating an
annual memorial ceremony and establishing an appropriate form of remembrance.
Criteria
State employees who have lost their lives while performing their jobs as documented by the
Office of State Personnel's Risk Control Services Division will be honored. This program will
be effective January 1, 1999.
Program Administration
The Office of State Personnel will administer the memorial program.
The State Employee Recognition Program in partnership with the Risk Control Services
Division of the Office of State Personnel will manage this program.
A State Employee Memorial Advisory Committee, consisting of six representatives from a
cross-section of State agencies, will be responsible for providing guidance in the
administration of this program. An employee from the Employee Recognition Program or the
Risk Control Services Division will serve as the coordinator of the committee. The Office of
State Personnel, State Employee Recognition Program Director, will select those agencies to
provide a representative to serve a two-year term on this committee. The committee will
meet a minimum of twice annually to carry out its advisory functions.
Agency representatives (possibly safety directors), appointed annually by agency
personnel directors, will coordinate the program at the agency level.
The agency advisors and the Office of State Personnel will plan and conduct an
annual memorial ceremony and establish appropriate ways to demonstrate the
recognized value and sacrifices made by these employees.
Office of State Personnel Responsibilities
Establish program guidelines, processes and procedures.
Plan and conduct an annual memorial ceremony for employees who lost their lives
while in the line of service.
Coordinate with the Governor's Office and Department of Administration, Facility
Management, so the letter from the Governor and the North Carolina State flag is
given to the family of the employee being memorialized.
