Employee of the Month
Join us in celebrating CRAFT Award winner, Amanda! Even though she only began working at the Country Meadows Justice Court a little over a year ago, her impact has been substantial.
After receiving SEVEN nominations as our “employee of the month”, Amanda won the award due to her kindness and helpfulness. And during her birthday week, no less!
Government service runs in the family- her father is an investigator at the Public Defender's office. And though his cases and ours never mix, she follows his lead to be respectful and courteous to all court customers.
One of Amanda's keys to success is to start the day with happy, positive music to keep the good energy going. And it works!
“Part of it is the environment,” she smiled. “I love the people I work with, so it makes it easier to have more of an upbeat attitude.”
Keep up the great work, Amanda, and never lose that positive energy!
