Milford Mayor Recognizes Employee of the Month

From The City of Milford: As the recipient of the award for the Mayor’s Employee of the Month Program, please join us in extending a warm congratulation to Nicole in receiving this recognition. After a review of all of the nominations, the Selection Committee unanimously chose her as the winner for her impeccable work ethic, always going above and beyond expectations and teamwork.

Nicole began her employment with the City of Milford on December 17, 2012, as a Library Assistant. Assigned to the Technical Services Department of the Library, Nicole is responsible for tracking and managing the library’s materials budget, and ordering all materials requested by other library departments.

Nicole aptly navigated through the library’s new Integrated Library System (ILS). With Nicole’s penchant for accuracy and detail, she designed her own internal tracking system that enables her to notify staff the balance of funds available after each category of purchase. This system has proven to be invaluable as multiple staff expend funds from single line items such as books and DVD’s. Nicole has developed an excellent rapport with the library vendors through her understanding of each of their intricacies. She diligently seeks out the best price for library materials and has a remarkable recollection of specific orders.

Nicole’s willingness to assist other departments, and to learn and improve her knowledge of those departments, has earned her the respect of her co-workers. Whether Nicole is placing an order, assisting the youngsters in the Children’s Department or assisting with a movie or craft program, she performs each with an attitude of professionalism and a strong desire to help library users have the best experience.

Nicole’s great attitude and her willingness to go the extra mile are all examples of why she is an asset to the City of Milford. These are just a few of the many reasons the Mayor extends his sincere congratulations and appreciation to Nicole for the outstanding attributes she exhibits as Employees of the Month.
