I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for not only being in public service but appreciation for all those who serve as public servants with my agency, VDH. Each and every one of them plays an integral role in our communities, and their contributions do not go unnoticed. From our administrative staff to technology experts, finance professionals to human resources professionals, their dedication and hard work keep our agency running smoothly. Their behind-the-scenes efforts ensure that essential services are delivered effectively and efficiently. To my clients and colleagues, whether you're working in government and regulatory affairs, public health and preparedness, population health, or community health services, your commitment to serving the public is truly commendable. You make a difference in people's lives every single day, and for that, I am incredibly proud of the work you do. Thank you for your unwavering dedication, your tireless efforts, and your selfless service as public servants. You are the backbone of our communities, and your work is deeply valued and appreciated. Keep making a difference, because every role matters, and every individual contribution counts.
Thank you Rod Hall , District Manager in Memphis South TN field office. Thank you for being a great leader! In my 8 years of service in the Memphis South office you taught me a lot. Thank you for putting training first to your employees and being an example of a true leader.
To our first responders that always put their selves in danger for the wellbeing of others. To all the Teachers that work long hours, receive all kinds of abuse and buy items for their students with the low salaries they receive. To our amazing Military Personnel. To the government employees that keep the citizens welfare and interest a priority. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without all of you, USA would not be the free federal republic we are.
I would like to say thank you to Anita Spinner Deputy Director for Operations, Center for Federal Executive Boards(FEB) National Operations, Workforce Policy and Innovation U.S. Office of Personnel Management. In 2022/2023 Anita took on the task of facilitating the transfer of individual FEBs over to OPM. She (along with her team) conducted a seamless transfer (in my opinion) of several employees, and helped process out those employees that were not interested in transferring over. Anita performed this monumental task with such professionalism and grace amidst a lot of moving part and unidentified guidance that was yet to be disseminated. With Anita at the helm leading the charge of coordinating this effort and keeping us informed of each stage in the process made me feel a sense of comfort and understanding. It made me want to work for OPM just by viewing her compassion for us during a difficult decision making time in our Federal careers. She would not like the spotlight as she just executes without all the kudos, but I want Anita and everyone else to know that she continues to impact my career and life in a most meaningful and positive way! Thank you Anita Spinner.
