Going the extra mile, both on-site and in her personal life, has seen Elaine Alexander of Mitch Murch’s Maintenance Management Company (MMMM) win the 2011 BSCAI Building Service Employee of the Year Award.
The Award honours a building service contracting employee whose job performance, civic involvement and family role best exemplify qualities found in superior custodial employees.
‘Elaine clearly exemplified all of these qualities and it was seen across the board that she deserved the recognition,’ noted the BSCAI.
The BSC Employee of the Year is chosen based on a panel of two groups of judges – the BSCAI Awards Committee reviews the submissions as well as a group of non-industry panel of judges. Both groups believed that Elaine Alexander deserved the recognition as Building Service Employee of the Year.
“Elaine has been a loyal team member for over 10 years at the MMMM account, The Illinois Agricultural Association Facility. Elaine is currently raising two daughters and a grandson on her own. She goes out of her way to volunteer her personal help to her local church as well as helping out local senior citizens by assisting with their everyday tasks,” stated MMMM’s CEO Tim Murch.
“Elaine goes the extra mile, every day, and will do whatever she can to help someone in need, whether at work, church, in her community and in life! She is one of the brightest assets at the Illinois Agricultural Association account and she exceeds expectations every day. Her cheerful, upbeat attitude is contagious! Elaine is an inspiration for those needing a positive influence and smiles in their lives,” Murch emphasised.
Elaine Alexander was recognised at the opening general session of the 2012 BSCAI Annual Convention in Chicago, which took place 19 October. She received a round-trip travel to the convention and $1,000, a handsome plaque, and a medallion.
