Shout Out: Extension Operations Team - Jennifer Wilson, Mary Gatza and Mary Hellmer
The Shout Out this week comes from Rebecca McFarland, Frontier District Director, and is sent for the Extension Operations Team of Jennifer Wilson, Mary Gatza and Mary Hellmer. Rebecca writes:
"I am submitting a 'Shout Out' to the Extension Operations team of Jennifer Wilson, Mary Gatza and Mary Hellmer. As a new district director, I have reached out to them numerous times with questions about hiring local unit employees, family and medical leave, the Fair Labor Standards Act, benefits for local unit employees and more. They respond in a timely manner, explain the information clearly, discuss situations and share scenarios. I appreciate their professionalism and patience in guiding me. They do this in the midst of working tirelessly to fill all of the vacant agent positions and additional responsibilities that I know I am not aware of. Thank you!"
Jennifer, Mary and Mary, thanks for all you do for the people of Kansas, our colleagues and K-State Research and Extension.
If you know of a colleague or team of colleagues who deserve recognition for a job well done, why not nominate them for a Shout Out. Simply send their name(s) and the reason for the Shout Out to ksreshoutout@ksu.edu. Also, it would be very helpful if you would put "Shout Out" in the subject line of the email.
