The MagHOPE Awards is a government-wide employee recognition program within the Executive Branch of the government of Guam. It is the highest and most competitive employee awards program bestowed by the Governor of Guam, which showcases the outstanding employees and programs of the government of Guam. The recognition and competition spans over 45 departments and agencies, and 55 occupational groups ranging from clerical, labor, trades, professional and technical positions. The various awards reflect individual and group performance, valor, cost savings, integrity, community service and sports.
The MagHOPE Awards Program is an improved version of the Magnificent Seven Program which began in 1987 under former Governor Joseph F. Ada. The Magnificent Seven Program, commonly referred to as "Mag7" continued until 1994. In 1998, former Governor Carl T.C. Gutierrez expanded the Mag7 awards under the program title "Excel Program". The Excel Program was implemented from 1998-2001.
Throughout the years, many departments and agencies have adopted the general concept of the Mag7 program and tailored it to fit their own organizational needs.
The 2006 MagHOPE Awards Program title is Governor Felix P. Camacho's commitment in Honoring Outstanding Public Employees.
