If you would like to recognize a current City of Dayton employee for excellent service, here’s your chance! The Joseph T. Cline Award acknowledges City of Dayton employees who demonstrate excellence and extraordinary dedication in their career as well as their civic contributions, have been employed by the City for at least two years, and are currently full-time or permanent part-time employees. The nomination process is open to citizens and City employees. Nominees can be employed at any level of the City of Dayton organization.
The Joseph T. Cline Awards Fund was established in 1984 at The Dayton Foundation by Carolynne H. Cline, daughter of the late Joseph T. Cline. Joseph T. Cline was an optometrist, an associate of John Patterson, and a civic volunteer in early 20th century Dayton.
The awards honor current City of Dayton workers who display excellence and dedication in their career as a City employee, as well as civic and community involvement. Honorees receive recognition by the City Commission and a cash award from an endowment established by the Cline family through The Dayton Foundation.
