ECVC Foundation

Our Foundation

 

The ECVC Foundation supports and honors the dedicated individuals who drive our mission forward. As the philanthropic arm of Eastern Carolina Vocational Center, the Foundation celebrates excellence through annual employee recognition awards, presented each year at ECVC’s Christmas luncheon in Greenville, NC.

Honoring Excellence and Investing in Our Team

Our awards include the Morris Brody Award for Excellence, the Walter B. Jones, Jr. Award for Excellence, the Walter L. Williams Award for Excellence, the James Earl Jones Award for Excellence, and the Daneel L. le Roux Award for Excellence. Nominations come directly from supervisors, team leads, and co-workers—ensuring that recipients are honored and celebrated by the very people they work alongside each day.

In addition to celebrating achievement, the ECVC Foundation also helps fund professional development and training opportunities for employees. By investing in workforce training and continued education, the Foundation helps our team grow, succeed, and better serve our community and government partners.
