The Employee Recognition Program (ERP) was established to allow State agencies to form Employee Recognition Committees (ERCs) | View Policy >

ADEQ’s ERC consists of agency staff members who volunteer their time outside of work hours to help organize and run staff-centered events such as:

• Employee Annual Awards 
• Employee Fall Carnival
• ADEQ 40th Anniversary (May 2026)
• and more 

The cost of these events is funded by staff fundraising events held throughout the year. In addition, members of the public may donate to the Employee Recognition Fund through our online Donation Portal. Donations are anonymous and are tax-deductible | Donate >
