At its 6 p.m. meeting tonight, the Middle Township Committee will honor John Oliva as the August 2016 Employee of the Month.
Oliva began his career with Middle Township in July 2000. He currently serves as an Equipment Operator in the Public Works Department.
“John is always willing to step up to the plate and do what needs to be done for the Township,” said Mayor Michael Clark. “Besides his dedication to Public Works, John is very community-minded. His commitment to the youth of Middle Township through his association with the Middle Township Baseball Softball Association is commendable. We are fortunate to have such an employee.”
A resident of Cape May Court House, Oliva is married with a 10 year-old son, Tanner. An avid baseball fan, he enjoys coaching and umpiring and serves on the Middle Township Baseball Softball Association board. He also enjoys camping in his spare time.
The Middle Township Employee of the Month program was initiated by the Township Committee to honor employees who exemplify the Township’s commitment to better delivery of services and going the extra mile for residents. The program culminates with the Darius Graham Employee of the Year honor that is named after one of the Township’s most beloved employees in its history.
Nominations for the Employee of the Month Program are available inside Middle Township hall at three locations: Human Resources and Training Department, Administration Department, and on the bulletin board. Residents from the Township who have had a very positive interaction with any Middle Township employee may pick up the one-page nomination form and fill it out in the employee’s behalf. Each month a Township employee will be selected; the winning nominee will receive a certificate at a future Township Committee meeting along with a photograph posted on the bulletin board.
