“Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.” – Aristotle

The Fairfax-Falls Church Community Services Board (CSB) provides services for people of all ages who have mental illness, substance use disorders, and/or developmental disabilities to help them to build and live their best lives.

Every day, CSB employees and partners commit themselves to provide excellent services to individuals in our community. Many go above and beyond in meaningful and unforgettable ways. The CSB’s Spirit of Excellence Awards, which are not exclusively for CSB staff, recognize these individuals for their enduring actions.

CSB employees also provide valuable contributions through single, random acts of kindness. The CSB Spirit of Excellence Random Act of Kindness Award, which is new for 2019, will honor a CSB employee who makes a deliberate, one-time contribution to the CSB and the clients we serve. 

This year’s CSB Spirit of Excellence Award Team is now seeking nominations for all-stars (or teams of all-stars) whose outstanding performance, attitude, and actions promote, reinforce, or embody the CSB’s mission, vision and values. Do you know an extraordinary individual or team that embodied excellence and superior performance in the services they provided in the past year?

Please consider nominating that individual or team for a Spirit of Excellence Award. Any member of the community is eligible to be nominated.

Since July 2007, CSB employees and others have been recognized for excellence by colleagues and community members. Nominations will be accepted between December 1, 2018 and January 31, 2019.
