J. Willard Marriott Awards of Excellence

AOE Hero Banner

Each year, the J. Willard Marriott Awards of Excellence recognizes the “best of the best” at Marriott International. Established in 1987 and named after our founder, the J. Willard Marriott Award of Excellence honors the company’s finest associates who represent the characteristics of the award: achievement, character, dedication, effort and perseverance.

Additionally, five group awards acknowledge outstanding corporate citizenship, diversity and inclusion efforts, excellence in demonstrating the company’s core values, driving innovation and reinforcing Marriott’s core values to the future generation of leaders, and empowering associates to live a healthy and fulfilling life through TakeCare.

Each of these stories exemplify the core values upon which Marriott International was founded.
