PSS Award Ceremony

I had a pleasant surprise this last week. I was invited to an award ceremony of the PSS Commission. There was no indication what the award was for.

Now I have to admit that I went into it with some trepidation. There has been a lot of push to 'recognize' staff for their accomplishments. That usually means that you have to look through a set of names and pick somebody. My name was one of two recipients selected out of about 500. There were about 25 recipients of approximately 14,000 employees.

I was far more impressed when I heard the list of accomplishments for each of the recipients. It was clear that some thought had gone into the process.

David manages the Departmental Websites including intranet and internet applications and portals which contains over 2,000 web pages. He is very proactive in managing these websites and performs system monitoring during off-hours. He represents DPSS in countywide E-Government and E-GIS Committees. He is very creative and always looks for more efficient ways to automate manual processes. He is very dedicated and conscientious in providing outstanding customer service.
