The Teamwork Award was established to recognize exceptional teamwork within the college organization. The award will be made to a group of at least three employees who work together for the betterment of their department and the college. Groups may include committees who have met for at least a semester and produced measurable results. Groups may not receive the award more than once every five years. The award was established in 2009 and is named in memory of Dave Sarther, a valued employee of Moraine Valley until his death in July 2012. Mr. Sarther held positions in Information Technology and Campus Operations during his 13 years at the college.
