Dedication and Enthusiasm Usher in a New RQT

by Donna Andreason

This past May saw another RQT ake the reins! The 2005-2006 team members are Farida Ablang (Payroll), Jaeson Albritton (SFS), Jesus Francisco (Payables), Joanne Matson (Treasury), Kelley Smith (Financial Accounting), My-Hanh Tong (Financial Services), Shannon Kruger (MAA) and Tamra Clark (GCA). Elise Hebb (Treasury) will continue on from last year’s RQT to help with the new team’s transitions for the first few meetings and Ginny Montgomery (Payroll) will continue as team facilitator. This team will meet for a 12 month term, at which time new members will be selected. The 2005-2006 team members are very excited about their roles in RQT and bring a wealth of enthusiasm and new ideas to the process. Special thanks to the outgoing team of Amy Liu, Elise Hebb, Donna Andreason, Katrina Day, Ginny Montgomery, Suzann Wright, and Steven Wang. It was a great year!

So far, the new RQT has planned their first quarterly Person-to-Person Gathering and is brainstorming ideas for the upcoming Financial Management Summer Event. The team has also successfully completed their first LINQ Award Presentation for Jeff Follman in Financial Accounting and has awarded a handful of Bravo, Express and Coffee Cards. Keep up the good work recognizing others in Financial Management!
