2025 Artie Lee Hinds Award Employee Nomination
As in years past, we will be awarding an outstanding employee from one of our Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Purchasing from People with Disabilities (PPD) Program community rehabilitation programs (CRPs) with the Artie Lee Hinds Award.

- Employment Success: the nominee’s growth in their ability to complete their daily tasks, acquire and develop new skills within their position, and contribute to the work environment around them
- Personal Success: the nominee’s ability to take the skills and knowledge they have acquired in their employment position and translate that into personal growth
