Fort Worth Public Events Dept. Honors Eight Team Members at Annual Recognition Event

The City of Fort Worth’s Public Events Department honored eight team members for excellence, dedication and leadership at their annual Employee Recognition Event December 19, 2024 at Will Rogers Memorial Center. The event was a 1980s-themed “totally tubular time.”

PED’s Internal Communications Committee, with representatives from the Fort Worth Convention Center (FWCC), Will Rogers Memorial Center (WRMC) and the Office of Outdoor Events, revamped its peer-to-peer recognition program last year to better highlight City and PED values and increase the breadth of award nominations. A record 34 nominations were received in eight categories.
