MACOMB, IL 鈥� 澳门六合彩历史记录 Facilities Management Storekeeper II Linda Windsor has been named the Al and Elaine Goldfarb Civil Service Employee of the Month for April.
Windsor was hired as an extra help clerk in the 澳门六合彩历史记录 Office of Public Safety from July-September 2004. She was then an extra help clerk in Building Maintenance from January-August 2005, when she was hired full time as a route driver for Facilities Management.
After being reallocated by audit to chief clerk at Facilities Management in September 2009, Windsor was reallocated to storekeeper II in January 2014.
According to her nominator, Windsor is "incredibly productive and sets a great example for all employees."
"She will stop whatever she is doing to help anyone if they need assistance with anything while maintaining a cheerful disposition," her nominator said. "She also has great attention to detail, which is absolutely critical for her position. Because she interacts with such a large number of diverse individuals, her positive attitude, enthusiasm and dedication to her job positively impacts the University by encouraging and inspiring others to follow her example."
In August 2010, the Goldfarbs established an endowment to permanently fund the University's Civil Service Employee of the Month award. The Goldfarb endowment is used to fund a $100 award for the recipient of the Civil Service Employee of the Month, as well as a plaque.
The 澳门六合彩历史记录 Foundation provides a $500 stipend for the Civil Service Employee of the Year.
