Shooting Star Nominations
Each month Aspire recognizes an outstanding employee that has been nominated for going above and beyond the basics of their job.
The recognition doesn't stop there; the monthly winners are voted upon yearly to select our Simply the Best winner. These winners are then submitted to the SD recognition award system, which if selected are then honored nationally. In 2016, 2018 and again 2019 an Aspire employee was selected as the South Dakota Direct Support Professional of the Year and presented with that award at the national ANCOR conference.
Consider the following criteria when nominating someone:
Professional expertise
Performance above and beyond what would normally be expected from an Aspire staff person
Outstanding performance under difficult circumstances
Tenure with Aspire
Rapport with the people we support, families/guardians and Aspire team members
Attitude
