The Annual Rock Star Custodian Award
The National Rock Star Custodian Award is an annual award that celebrates and champions the true, frontline rock stars of cleaning - the boots on the ground. Nominated by employers, coworkers, customers and colleagues, hundreds of frontline custodians from across the country are considered for the honor. Eight finalists are selected and, ultimately, one Rock Star Custodian who exemplifies the award's 9 Core Traits is presented with the award at the Rock Stars of Cleaning conference.
- Show the world how valuable these individuals are.
- Get your community behind the Rock Star movement.
- Energize your operation as no other program can.
- Champion your frontline staff members; custodians, janitors, cleaners, technicians, or whatever title you give them.
- The National Rock Star Custodian annual award is for any person who is currently employed by the custodial department of any facility maintenance services organization, whether that be a contract service or an in-house operation.
The Rock Star program outlines 9 Core Traits, which are the qualifiers for nomination. Completed nominations are taken throughout the year, and eight finalists are selected from the hundreds of nominees across the country.
On November 1st of each year, the Academy of Cleaning Excellence will present the eight finalists, and the world will have the opportunity to vote for the Rock Star Custodian of the year!
