Employees of the Year
Congratulations to our Department of Communications Employees of the Year - Amy Hartman and Greg LeValley. Amy earned the unclassified employee title for her leadership in combining the publications library and catalog Web sites. Her nomination letter also cited her outstanding customer service with clients. That same customer service sentiment was echoed in Greg’s nomination for classified employee of the year. Greg’s positive attitude in tough economic times was cited in his nomination letter. Greg’s creative approach to finding ways to help counties produce the necessary materials is greatly appreciated.
Amy and Greg will receive their awards at the next departmental meeting.
