OBJECTIVE: To obtain approval from the Board of County Commissioners to recognize
Susan Usher, Senior Budget Analyst, Office of Management and Budget, as Employee
of the Year for 2008.
CONSIDERATIONS: Susan Usher, Senior Budget Analyst, has been nominated as the
"Employee of the Year" for 2008. Susan's dedication to accuracy, honesty, and
customer service are evident in the high quality of work she routinely produces. Amid
changing technologies and financial environments, Susan works to ensure that all
transitions are as smooth and seamless as possible. She maintains an excellent rapport
with her customers in each of the divisions as well as the Constitutional Officer agencies.
Susan manages the County's capital project budgets, and also serves as a key
representative from the County Manager's Agency on many of the financial and
information systems changes implemented by the organization. As the Office of
Management and Budget tends to be a centralized location for many of the County's
functions, Susan has the highly valuable skill of seeing "the big picture." Not only does
Susan retain a vast amount of institutional knowledge regarding the County, her detail -
oriented nature provides a check and a balance for the work done by the department.
In addition to the immense time that Susan puts into her work, she also serves the
community in a variety of volunteer capacities. Susan is a true public servant, dedicating
her time, talents and resources to the benefit of the employees and citizens of Collier
County. She is truly deserving of this award.
FISCAL IMPACT: The selected "Employee of the Year" receives a $250.00 cash
award. Funds are available in the employee's Budget Cost Center.
