Recognize your outstanding talent by nominating to the SFMA’s 2025 Employee of the Year Awards! A pivotal moment of our Recognition of Excellence Ceremony, the Employee of the Year Awards takes center stage to pay homage to the exceptional individuals powering the manufacturing realm. Nominate deserving employees by completing the form at the bottom of this page before the April 11, 2025, deadline.

Step 1:
Review the following categories for nomination of your employee. Please nominate your employee in the category that reflects their contributions in 2024.

1. Administrative (e.g., General Administration, Finance, Human Resources, etc.)
2. Engineering
3. Environmental Health & Safety
4. Information Technology
5. Production
6. Production Support (e.g., Materials, Planning, Quality, Maintenance, etc.)
7. Sales & Marketing
8. Supervisory (All supervisors, regardless of the department they oversee.)
9. Service Provider, Non-Manufacturing Member

Step 2:
Complete the below nomination form. Each nominee will be formally recognized at the Recognition of Excellence Ceremony in addition to the winners and runners-up being announced that evening. A critical component of the nomination form are the questions on the form that address the employee’s contributions to the company in 2024 and their value to the company. Please see below for the nomination form for guidance on what to include for the criteria.

Step 3:
If you have it handy, please email a headshot of your nominee to Eve Crowley at ecrowley@sfma.org. As a nominator, you may be contacted by the SFMA with any other information needed prior to the Ceremony.

Step 4:
After the nomination period closes, volunteer judges will read each application in each category. The judging will be conducted on a blind-scoring basis based on the two questions you answered and the criterion listed under each question. The judges rely on the responses and the details to score each nominee in each category. The winners and runners-up in each category will be unveiled at the ceremony in June 2025.

This year, we will be embracing the competitive spirit by offering some incentives to companies who make multiple nominations! Here are the opportunities available:

  • Associate Sponsorship for the Recognition of Excellence Ceremony ($500) included if any company nominates 3 or more employees
  • Annual Meeting in Fall 2025 – for every employee nominated, the company gets one chance to win a table of 10 and booth the Annual Meeting ($3,150 value)
