Round of Applause: Tami Chargois

Tami is an absolute dream to work with. She is efficient, thoughtful, and has the ability to see potential issues before they arise. She and I collaborated on our recent HR Council meeting and despite some last-minute adjustments, Tami rolled with everything and made sure everything was handled. I can’t say enough about how much I enjoy working with her – we couldn’t have done it without her!

When the new sensitivity labels kicked in and I had trouble getting one of my database features to work, Doug found me a workaround and got me back in fighting form in no time. I really appreciate how quickly he was able to get me up and running again and all the patience he shows me on the regular!
