Cintas Corp. has announced the top 10 finalists in its 11th annual Cintas Custodian of the Year contest. From now through April 12, the public can vote for their favorite custodian at custodianoftheyear.com

“Every year we receive thousands of heartfelt nominations and inspirational stories,” said John Rudy, Cintas senior marketing director. “It’s not an easy decision to make, but this year’s top 10 finalists are exceptionally deserving of recognition for the hard work they contribute to their schools as well as their communities.”

The winning custodian will receive US$10,000 and an additional $5,000 in Rubbermaid Commercial Products and Cintas products for his/her school. The winner’s school will also receive a facility assessment and consulting package from ISSA and Cleaning Industry Management Standard (CIMS) Advanced by GBAC certification, valued at $20,000.

The nine runners-up will each receive $1,000 from Cintas, a cleaning supply package from Rubbermaid, and free tuition to one ISSA Cleaning Management Institute (CMI) virtual training event, valued at up to $1,500. The finalists’ schools will also receive a cleaning supply package from Rubbermaid Commercial Products. In addition, the top three finalists will receive an all-expense paid trip for two to the ISSA Show North America 2024 in Las Vegas in November, where they’ll be recognized for their accomplishments.

“It’s important to recognize all that custodians do to create a safe and welcoming learning environment,” said ISSA Executive Director John Barrett. “This year we have an outstanding line-up of finalists who go above and beyond to be a positive role model to students and their schools.”
