It is a great honor that I have today to tell you a little bit about our 2017 TPPY recipient. As I read through their bio and application submission, the word volunteer was prevalent throughout. Whether it was serving in leadership roles at their local chapters, serving on the TPC Board of Directors or in their day to day work environment, you could easily recognize that this person was passionate about payroll and payroll education. This person has served in not only one chapter, but two chapters within Texas!
Having been in payroll for over 20 years, this person often referenced the many influences others have had in her career. The list of their mentors was truly a who’s who of Payroll. Carolyn Huse, CPP, Valery Noakes, CPP, Kathy Phillips, CPP, Emma Jackson, CPP, Mary Jo Lantz, CPP, Risa Lundquist, CPP, Taunya Fritzching, CPP, Carolyn Cox, CPP and the late Misty Roper ,CPP. An amazing group to say the least! She feels she is a better person and payroll professional and thanks them for their influence, guidance and growth!
We all have the one person that has inspired us or influenced us; but I was so touched to read that their grandmother was hands down the person who taught her to always believe in the company she worked for, to be loyal and to always give 100% even when you didn’t agree! And when your grandmother is your first boss, work ethic becomes a bi-product of that mentorship!
At a young age while you and I were busy playing with dolls, trains and trucks, she found amusement in a 10 key adding machine. While she led TPC as President in 2010, “Taking the Mystery out of Payroll” it was no mystery that she was bound for greatness!
Having the pleasure of serving with and knowing this recipient for 7 years, I can truly say that this honor is very deserving. Please join me in congratulating
