30 Years of Service Award for Lisa Druckemiller
Lisa began her career with Monroe County in June of 1980 as one of the County's Switchboard
Operator's. In February of 1992, the switchboard operations were moved into the Information
Systems Department and Lisa became the Telecommunications Specialist. Shortly thereafter, other
County functions were combined with the Department and it then became the Division of Management
Services. In October of 1997, she was promoted to the Telecommunications Coordinator, three years
later became the Telecommunications Supervisor, and in 2004 was the Telecommunications
Administrator. In 2005, Lisa was promoted to the Senior Administrator of Telecommunications, the
Division was abolished, becoming a Department reporting directly under the County Administrator
that includes the functions of Telecommunications, County television station Channel 76, and the
County-wide computer system.
She has been named employee of the month twice, in February 2000 and again in October 2001, and
was awarded the Employee of the Year in 2001. Also, she earned the designation of Certified Public
Manager in June of 2007 through the Florida Center for Public Management.
Lisa continuously investigates ways in which to save the County money. She has a good relationship
with vendors and, in almost every instance that I can remember, get's her way. She has the positive
attitude of "deal or no deal". She always finds new or better ways to serve our employees and
constituents of Monroe County.
I am extremely proud to recognize you today for your 30 years of service to Monroe County.

YEARS OF SERVICE AWARD
VALERIE MOORE
BUSINESS MANAGER, LIBRARY
Valerie Moore started working for Monroe County in 1990, as Insurance Clerk with the
Employee Benefits Department. Shortly afterwards, she was reclassified as Office
Assistant II. The same year, she was promoted to Insurance Technician and then was
transferred to the Purchasing Department.
In 1993, Valerie became the Business Manager for the Library System, and was so
effective that she was assigned the duties of Acting Senior Librarian for a period of time.
For two years she had the pleasure of working with the late Charles Ingraham as Senior
Administrative Aide in Veterans Affairs, until she again responded to the call of the
Library, much to the relief of staff and especially that of her Supervisor.
Although her position duties are primarily financial and business-related, on occasion
she has helped out in various areas of the Library. Whenever staff shortages have
occurred, Valerie is among the first to volunteer to fill the gap, helping with circulation,
computer assistance, and presenting children's programs. She is always willing and
eager to learn new skills that will benefit the Library and its patrons.
Valerie is a fourth-generation Conch, with deep ties to the Key West community, which
are reflected in her broad knowledge and understanding of how the County works.
Among the traits which make her so valuable to the Library are her loyalty, dedication,
professionalism and strong work ethic. Her County experience and the expertise she has
acquired in many Library concerns have made her an all-round "go-to" person for Library
Administration and Library staff throughout the County.
Valerie is always pleasant and cheerful in her dealings with staff, patrons, and other
County departments. It is a real pleasure to honor her on her twenty years of service
with Monroe County, and the Library Administration and staff look forward to many more.
