Administrative Professionals’ Day is an opportunity every year to recognize and appreciate professionals whose contributions are essential to teamwork and organizational success.
The Kelso Police Records staff exemplify dedication and committed to supporting our commissioned personnel. They are also responsible for all of the behind-the-scenes functions that often go unseen, but all of which are critical to our daily operations.
Our administrative professionals are frequently the first point of contact for members of the public entering our lobby. Beyond their technical and clerical expertise, it is their professionalism, positivity and commitment to excellence that truly sets them apart. Their contributions strengthen our mission and that is felt throughout our entire organization.
Coinciding with this day is National Volunteer Week, which honors the nearly 80 million individuals across the United States who generously donate their time in support of organizations within their communities. We are fortunate to have Judy Nakashima, who has been a consistent and valued volunteer for us since 2015.
Today, we extend our sincere gratitude and appreciation to our records staff Nancy, Angie, Becky, Tracey and Susan, as well as our volunteer Judy, for all they do for our department, our community and for each other. Their individual and collective efforts are essential to our organizational stability.
