Employee of the Month

"She can do anything!"

...that's how Lily's manager describes his long-time employee.

Lily works at our most unusual court- one inside the jail in southwest Phoenix, where those under arrest see their judge on-site or by video appearance. 

Part of Lily's job is to make sure all the court files are prepared early each morning for the daily docket. Her organization and knowledge help the court run efficiently, and get detainees in and out as quickly as possible.

These are the skills her manager- Adam- appreciates. “I don’t worry about not being here," he said. "She will get everything done and handled. It’s very smooth.”

One reason Lily works so hard and so well, is her respect for her team. “I've never worked somewhere where they actually thank you for doing something that's a part of your job,” she said. “Here, we get praised for what we do, we get thanked for what we do. I don't think there's any day that I leave here without a 'thank you'.”

It all earned her a CRAFT Award recently- that's our version of employee of the month.

Well done, Lily!
