If I think a professor is doing an outstanding job, and feel they deserve recognition, who should I talk to?

I've had a professor for the past couple of semesters that has had a very positive impact on my studies and after talking to my fellow classmates they seem to be in agreement. I've made sure she knows how appreciative I am of her but is there anything more I could do to help her maybe get some more recognition? Maybe discuss her performance with the head of the department or something? She is a visiting professor so is it even worth letting her superiors know when she'll be gone in a year anyways?

I'm not entirely sure what is considered appropriate to be discussed regarding a professors performance and who it would be appropriate to discuss it with, or if anyone at the university, like her superiors, would care what I have to say. I just think, from the perspective of a student, that not enough positive feedback gets back to the professors. 

I'd appreciate any advice/recommendations.

I think the department head would like knowing that. It’s kind in person but probably more helpful in a letter that can be used for promotion or an award nomination. You could talk to the head and offer to write a letter for a teaching award for that faculty. And thanks for doing that. Teaching has its rewards but it can be challenging and it is easy to feel undervalued or unappreciated.
