Guilford Staffer Darlene Minore Given Employee Recognition Award

GUILFORD, CT — Senior Account Specialist Darlene Minore has been named as the recipient of a Guilford Employee Recognition Award.

First Selectman Matt Hoey, who initiated this program, encouraged all employees to nominate
fellow employees to be recognized for outstanding achievement and performance
in their work.

The Employee Recognition Awards Committee selected Minore who was nominated by her supervisor, Finance Director Maryjane Malavasi.

Malavasi praised Minore for ensuring that all of our vendors were paid during the
entirety of the pandemic and helping to implement a new Purchase Order system at
the same time.

“Darlene’s job required constant back and forth between home and office, and transporting thousands of invoices in order to keep things moving. But in addition, during this same time, she took on the challenge of implementing the Purchase Order Requisition module in MUNIS. Our office was tasked by the First Selectman to have this in place by July 1, and it was," Malavasi said. "She took time out of her day to train every department and handle calls with questions and concerns. Darlene continues to go above and beyond her job description to make processes easier for every department."

Minore has worked in the Town of Guilford Finance Department since 2001. She
received an Employee Recognition Award certificate and a gift card from Hoey in recognition of her achievements.
