Mills EOM 3-7-16At its 6 p.m. meeting tonight, the Middle Township Committee will honor Steve Mills as the March 2016 Employee of the Month. Mills serves as the Sewer Department’s Administrator and Repairer.

 Mills is being recognized not only for his work ethic and dedication, but also for his ability to maintain a chipper outlook no matter how challenging the work circumstances. Upon learning of his award, many employees remarked how he is “always smiling.” Not surprisingly, Mills states that his favorite part of his job is the camaraderie and laughing with coworkers.

“Steve is always willing to go above and beyond his normal duties to provide Middle Township residents with great customer service,” said Mayor Michael Clark. “I would like to thank him for all that he does, and how he does it all with a smile.”

A resident of Cape May Court House, Mills began his career with Middle Township in October 2005. He and his wife, Diane, have a chocolate lab named Drake. Mills enjoys scuba diving, spearfishing and hunting 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.
