WASHINGTON, D.C., May 5, 2008 - GEICO will honor five government employees as GEICO Public Service Award winners for 2007 for their on-the-job dedication and community contributions at a special recognition ceremony today at the National Archives in Washington, D.C.
This is the 28th year that GEICO is honoring federal employees for the work they do as well as their community involvement in the fields of physical rehabilitation, traffic safety and accident prevention, substance abuse prevention and treatment, and fire safety.
GEICO Chairman Tony Nicely announced that the 2007 Public Service Award honorees are:
Joseph W. Hafner, safety and occupational health specialist at Fort Bragg in North Carolina, for his work in traffic safety and accident prevention.
Joseph R. Baker, deputy fire chief at Fort Campbell in Kentucky, for his work in fire prevention and safety.
Jennie Allies, a federal employee of the Northern Cheyenne Service Unit, for her work in physical rehabilitation in rural Lame Deer, Montana.
Ileen Wong, a retired nuclear director for crane and rigging operations at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, for her work in physical rehabilitation.
Gloria Jean Prince, education specialist for the U.S. Army Substance Abuse Program in Korea, for her work in substance abuse prevention and treatment.
GEICO will present each of the five winners with a $2,500 cash award and an all-expense paid trip to Washington, D.C. for the ceremonies.
"We are so inspired by this year's recipients," said Nicely. "They make it their job to volunteer in their communities, as well as attend to their many responsibilities on the job. They are a reminder of the individual and collective accomplishments of federal employees who serve not only their communities, but their fellow Americans. I am delighted to congratulate these five very deserving Public Service Award winners."
Daryl Glover, GEICO's senior federal liaison for the Public Service Awards program, discussed the selection process. "Since 1980 GEICO has presented commendable federal employees with the GEICO Public Service Awards, and we have recognized over 125 persons making valuable contributions to their communities. GEICO was founded in 1936 to provide insurance services to federal employees and their families, and it is in this spirit that we recognize these five individuals for their exceptional work."
