Will Arthur

Will has been an employee of the Pension Office for almost three years. He brought with him a wealth of experience in State accounting, and quickly assumed responsibility as the primary FSF staff member. During that time, he has been a "quiet giant" in the Investments & Accounting section. He produces accurate financial transactions and data that is on time and organized. His reports are complete and reliable. He is responsive to coworkers in other sections who have other deadlines and priorities. Will's follow-up on issues is complete, and any auditor check of his work shows complete detail in his work papers for each transaction. Will does all of this every day while projecting a positive, professional image.

Alicia Fox

As a casual seasonal employee Alicia has worked very hard to maintain the front desk while training co-workers and maintaining her daily workload. She is always here ready to work and has a smile for everyone! Along with Alicia's daily duties, she was also asked to help the File Room while one of the employees was out of the office.

Alicia helped open and distribute the mail and was responsible for handling the incoming faxes. This was made possible by the IT folks so that this could be done from Alicia's computer at the front desk. She also assists any other section that needs help. Alicia is a dedicated employee and a huge asset to the Pension Office.

Congratulations, Alicia!
