City of Fort Collins MVPs#

A graphic that says City of Fort Collins MVP

Each year we recognize City workers who exemplify our Mission, Vision and Values, who go above and beyond for our community, and who inspire their colleagues to meet the high standard they set.

They are truly our MVPS.

The City of Fort Collins MVP recipients prove that service is more than just a job, it's a source of pride, and City of Fort Collins employees show their commitment to the public every day.

While the name of the award has changed from ‘World Class People’ to MVPs, the reason we highlight our colleagues remain the same.

Our organization is fortunate to have employees like these who take pride in their work, care about our community and see their job as a way to make a difference in Fort Collins.
