Thank you Brian for putting in all the extra hours needed to handle the urgent SNAP-Ed grant calls, emails, and questions as well as reviewing all of our budgets and walking us through the ORSO process!
Catalina Aragon, April 23 | Submitted by Martha Hykel
Catalina Aragon has amazing hat wearing and juggling skills. Over the past year or so she has worn many hats and she fit them all really well. She wore the hat of our EFNEP supervisor in Pierce County and then took over as Interim for Karen Barale and wore both hats at the same time, and then became a new mom for the first time and continued to juggle all of that amazingly well. She has perseverance like no other. We really appreciate all you do. Hats off !!! ( Pun intended ) and KUDOS to Catalina for all of your awesome skills.

Adenea Thompson, February 24 | Submitted by Andy Perleberg
Adenea contributed to the Forestry Extension program by providing county office and event logistical support and leadership. She provided assistance by communicating with the Colville Campus of Spokane Community College for delivering the 13th Forest Owners Winter School, where she led the welcome & registration support for 175 forest owners. Adenea took over supervision of 6 college students, and directed exhibitors and vendors. Adenea and WSU Stevens County Extension’s support for natural resources education improves the economic and environmental conditions benefitting northeast WA communities.
Britta Nitcy, February 24 | Submitted by Carolyn Wika and Linda Bailey
Britta has been a huge help to me from start to finish with preparing and processing GUAs for scholarships, and navigating the procedures of our department and the WSU Foundation. As a relatively new employee, this is significant. She anticipates each step and provides information before I request it. Britta also gets right on tasks and sees that they’re completed quickly, efficiently and accurately. Her work benefits the department and CAHNRS overall. Britta's positive attitude, proficiency and professionalism make her a real asset to our team. Thanks, Britta!
Mary Lou Bricker, January 22 | Submitted by Lynne Carpenter-Boggs
Mary Lou is so on top of things, she's ahead of potential problems. Today an email fell in my inbox and I thought, "Arrghh, how do I deal with this?" Before I could reply, Mary Lou had already responded to quell the potential issue, and she noted that she had already applied pressure further down the line to actually fix the issue. Whew! Thanks Mary Lou!
Joe Hewa, January 22 | Submitted by Katie Forsythe
Today, Joe helped me manage a difficult situation that was causing me a lot of stress. He was calm and supportive, and asked the right questions. Plus, he treated me to a cup of coffee that hit the spot. I am very grateful for Joe's regular support.
