At its 6 p.m. meeting tonight, the Middle Township Committee will honor Nancy McDevitt as the July 2016 Employee of the Month.
McDevitt began her career with Middle Township in 1991 in the Emergency Medical Services Department. In August 2015 she transferred to the Recreation Department, where she currently serves as a Recreational Aide.
“Nancy’s long-time service to the Township, first as an EMT and now through the Rec, is greatly appreciated,” said Mayor Michael Clark. “Always dedicated, responsive and professional, Nancy has been a steady hand during a time of transition within our Rec Department. I am confident that the Rec will continue to grow and thrive as a result of Nancy’s efforts, particularly with regard to special events.”
McDevitt is specifically being recognized for her extra efforts to help prepare the American Legion Thurston Elmer Wood Post #198 for the Township’s Memorial Day observance. Although bad weather forced the cancellation of events, McDevitt’s dedication did not go unnoticed, nor did her enthusiasm wane, according to multiple nominations received.
“Nancy is a go-getter,” said Robert Matthews, Middle Township’s Recreation Director. “She is self-motivated, always taking the initiative to complete tasks without being asked. Her organizational skills are top-notch, which really helps in planning the Township’s special events. Nancy is always one step ahead.”
McDevitt states that she truly enjoys collaborating with her co-workers to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for our community members and guests. In her spare time, McDevitt serves as a fire instructor/safety officer for Cape May County Public Safety, and enjoys spending time with family and friends. A resident of Green Creek, McDevitt is married with two sons, both of whom served in the Marine Corps.
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.
