Employee of the Month (December 2008)

Sam's Club Recognizes Office Support as Employee of the Month

Educators are not the only ones who play an important role in the delicate journey of educating students in Guilford County. Office support personnel handle all of the “behind the scenes” work that is so important to the efficient running of any department. According to her curriculum and instruction colleagues, Pamela Rudd is not only a key member of their department’s support system, but also Guilford County Schools (GCS) as a whole.

Gracious, kind and helpful are just a few words that her co-workers used to describe her character. Rudd is recognized for always extending a helping hand to new and veteran employees. Her colleagues have witnessed her "jumping directly into support mode" to support two recently hired employees. She answers questions, fulfills all requests and is still able to help veteran employees needing assistance.  

“She models how best to treat people,” said colleague Maureen Robinson. “Her ever-so-positive attitude serves to provide a style and tone that enriches not only our work place, but also impacts each of us as we relate beyond the work environment.”

To Rudd, no task is too small or menial. She helps out in document design, word software instruction, technology and many more areas around the office. 

As Employee of the Month, Rudd received a $50 gift card from Sam’s Club, which has generously partnered with GCS to support the employee recognition program..
