Unfortunately, my medical treatments require that I be in Miami today, so I regret that I
am unable to participate in the celebration of your selection as Employee ofthe Month.
However, please know that I am extremely pleased with the selection, and I congratulate
you on this most deserved recognition.
Throughout my thirty-eight years in the fire rescue service, I have been blessed with the
opportunity to work, directly and indirectly, with a number of hard-working
administrative professionals for twenty-one of those years. Of those twenty-one years,
nine of them have afforded me an administrative assistant who worked directly for me. I
can safely say that the last four years have shown me the best of the best. Your
combination of administrative and people skills, your strong financial background along
with a healthy dose of good sense and organizational conscience, have made my
challenging job all that much easier, and I personally thank you for your dedication and
hard work.
Unless they are totally oblivious, each of the division and department directors
throughout Monroe County Government know how valuable good administrative
professionals are. We in the Emergency Services Division know that our organization
could not possibly accomplish what it does; indeed it could not even survive, without all
of the help of our administrative professionals, especially the fine executive assistant
being recognized today.
Once again, congratulations on a job well done.
Chief Clark O. Martin, Ir.
Emergency Services Division
