Employee of the Month

Yay, Donna!
That's her on the right, being surprised with our monthly "CRAFT Award", honoring her job skills and dedication.
A co-worker at the San Marcos Justice Court nominated Donna as reliable, kind, honest, and loyal. "Simply the best," he wrote.
Donna joined Maricopa County in 1999 and came to the justice courts in 2016. Since then she has mastered multiple case types and become a go-to person for training other new employees.
As her court family applauded, Donna looked around and humbly smiled.
"Thank you, thanks you guys, for the kind words."
Nope- thank YOU, Donna!
