Team ASG December Employee of the Month

Officer Pollard - Employee of the Month for December 2007
Officer Pollard is always early to arrive for work, always smiling and pleasant, has an abundance of 'fans' within the building, is always eager to work and does a wonderful job. She has never missed a day of work, has come in early and worked late whenever asked, and always volunteers to help both ASG staff at her site and Associates that work within the building. She is a hard worker that goes the extra mile to see that the job gets done and that everyone is pleased.

She also manages to work full time, take care of her husband and home and take courses at JSRCC. She never seems to run out of energy and is never without a smile! She is a joy to work with.
