Five WSDA employees became eligible to select a prize because their names were randomly selected in the recent QUICK Awards drawing. Agencywide, employees handed out 48 awards to coworkers, with 32 in Western Washington and 16 in Eastern Washington.

QUICK Awards are presented by employees who see their peers demonstrating good work and service to others – either inside or outside the agency. Here are the prize recipients from the most recent quarterly drawing.

Angela Anegon - Organic Program, Olympia
Angela was recognized for her leadership as a peer and supervisor. With her impeccable work ethic, she is committed to improving the quality of the program’s work. She will be a huge asset as an inspector in Spokane.

David Hecimovich - Animal Health, Olympia

David received thanks for his support and expertise in the recent radiological emergency preparedness exercise where he was the agency’s liaison. He demonstrated thoughtful and professional work throughout the exercise planning process.

Alberto possesses an innate skill as an investigative interviewer that was invaluable in a significant investigative case. As a bilingual pesticide compliance investigator, Alberto shows intuitive and tenacious skill.
Because of Alberto's involvement, critical elements of the case investigation were uncovered, verified, and, sometimes, refuted.

Laura Raymond – Regional Markets, Seattle

Laura ensured that onboarding and welcoming of new staff was smooth and professional. She went above and beyond with courtesy and knowledge.

Erica Vanegas - Seed Program, Yakima

Erica was recognized for her awesome work ethic, staying late to ensure that the lab reports were “QA’ed” and sent out. When the Yakima building was closed for two days, she worked to get things caught up.

June 30 next drawing deadline

When you catch one of your coworkers doing something special for staff or customers, why not let them know with a QUICK Award? You can find the award form on the intranet. Forms are also available from your division coordinator or agency receptionists.

In summary: WSDA staff presented 48 QUICK Awards during the first quarter of 2019. Five of their names were randomly drawn to receive prizes. As a kick-off to Public Service Recognition Week, meet some agency employees who were recognized by their colleagues, with appreciation for their work.
