Headquarters, D-3 employees honored for employment milestones

The Idaho Transportation Board joined ITD colleagues, friends and family this week in acknowledging employees who achieved longevity milestones in their professional careers. Fifty-one employees reached new plateaus, including 13 who marked five years of employment, 11 who reached 20 years and nine who have worked 15 years.

Scott Ellsworth of CH2MHILL presented special honors to Dave Dansereau and Dan Davis, both of District 3. Dansereau was named Maintenance Person of the Year, and Davis was awarded Safety Person of the Year honors. (See related story.)

The ceremony also included formal recognition of 12 employees who retired during the last six months of 2010. Collectively, they represented 328 years of service to ITD and the state, or an average of 27.3 years per retiree. Half of the retirees recorded 30 or more years, including: Laurie McAllister, Tim Greeley, Karen Sparkman, Roxana Marshall, Louie Albright and Rebecca Davis. Of the 12, Davis recorded the longest employment with ITD at 41 years; Albright had 38 years, and Marshall, 37 years.

Board member Lee Gagner of District 6 and ITD DIrector Brian Ness provided opening remarks. DMV Administrator Alan Frew served as emcee.
