It is not all that often that there is a public service team that embodies the spirit of the term, "public service". However, in King County, WA the Licensing team truly holds those words to heart. They are about the most caring group of individuals I have ever come across in any public service organization. They are dedicated to each customer they serve and take personal responsibility in ensuring that those customer's needs are met. They truly care about each individual as they serve them but also, they deeply care for the general public and the citizens of the county in which they serve. King County follows a set of values called, "True North" which encompasses the belief that the employees want to make King County a welcoming community where every person can thrive. Two of those values that the Licensing team holds close to their hearts are, "We focus on the customer" and "We respect all people". The Licensing team sets the bar for what outstanding public service should look like and should be applauded for their efforts! Great job King County Licensing, we all thank you for your dedication, kindness and service!
Pam, Thank you for inspiring me and so many others with your lifetime of service, in uniform while serving in the United States Army and as a tireless civil servant supporting the Department of Agriculture. You are an example for others as you harness idealism while allowing your wisdom to radiate through channels of practicality as you navigate your personal and professional journey. You continue to uplift and inspire. Thank you for all you do to create a symphony of engagement that resonates with excitement and shared celebration for your team.
I would like to thank Nicole Depillars, Human Resources Recruiter at the City of Flint. She is always professional and willing to patiently share her hiring knowledge with me. Her job isn't a high-profile or flashy one, but she helps me onboard new staff and interns, making a difference in many people's lives. I'd like to thank her for her service.
I want to shout out the U.S. Foreign Service Internship Program coordinating team - their guidance is invaluable, and I know I'm not the only intern inspired by their work! Marti Estell in particular is a superstar, providing incredible insight and constant support. Each and every staff member who contributes to that program deserves all the flowers they can carry.
It's been a little over a year since I was introduced to you Kevin. You embody the Spartan Spirit, "He who sweats more in training, bleeds less in battle". This quote emphasizes the Spartan philosophy that rigorous training and preparation can reduce casualties in actual battle. Kevin, throughout your career, you have exemplified the importance of discipline and readiness.
I would like to personally thank all the hard workers of the Waco Regional Office, VR&E division. The job they take on day in and day out is very taxing and they pull it off beautifully and I am very proud to count myself among the their ranks. They change lives everyday and commit themselves to the task, as a former client of VR&E I know the work you do creates immense opportunity for our Veterans and would like to personally thank this division for changing mine when I was lost. God Bless you all!!!
When I turn on my tap and clean, drinkable water comes out, I consider it nothing short of a miracle. I know it's not magic, but the work of people in the public sector that allows this to happen. Thank you for everything that you do.
Alex, thank you for everything you do to disseminate CX org design best practices and move the collective needle on federal CX-- making us all a little bit more savvier.
One of the greatest gifts that God gives us is the act of service; serving others. It’s a blessing and an honor to be surrounded by so many selfless people, working together to create a positive impact on our communities.
