(DES MOINES) – Gov. Kim Reynolds and Lt. Gov. Adam Gregg encouraged Iowans Tuesday to make nominations for the fifth annual Iowa Job Honor Awards.

The Iowa Job Honor Awards celebrate “a new kind of hero” – Iowans who overcome obstacles to employment and the employers who hire them. Each top employee honoree will receive $500. Winners in both the employee and employer categories will receive engraved awards.

The awards will be presented at an event on Thursday, Sept. 27 at the Marriott Hotel & Conference Center in Coralville, hosted by the Iowa Society for Human Resource Management.

America’s Job Honor Awards was founded in Iowa in 2014 and is spreading across the Midwest. Previous employee honorees have overcome disabilities, criminal convictions and language barriers.
