...Title

Congratulations to Susan Lainfiesta, Community Recreation Department recipient of the "Employee of the Month Award", for August 2025.

 

..Body

I would like to nominate Susan Lainfiesta for Employee of the Month. Susan has been going

above and beyond in her dual roles as Special Events Manager and Administrative

Assistant for the Community Recreation Department. Balancing both responsibilities is no

small task, yet she continues to handle it with a high level of dedication, organization, and

care for the team.

Susan is a true team player. She consistently looks out for the success of the department

and steps in to handle the smaller, often overlooked details that make a big difference in

keeping things running smoothly. Whether it's making sure logistics are covered or jumping

in to help wherever needed, Susan is always ready to support the team.

In addition to her admin role, she continues to manage all aspects of special events for the

department. She has worked hard to streamline the event permitting process, making it

easier to navigate for both staff and community members. Susan always makes the extra

effort to provide clear information and guidance to anyone planning an event, ensuring they

feel supported from start to finish.

She also works extremely well with other city departments, and it’s rare to find someone in

the organization who hasn’t collaborated with her in some capacity. Susan has built strong

working relationships across the board and is known for being dependable, helpful, and

easy to work with.

Susan’s ability to manage both of her roles so effectively, while continuing to support her

coworkers and improve processes, makes her more than deserving of this recognition. She

is a vital part of our team and sets a great example of dedication and service.
