Our Employee of the Quarter for Q3 is Valet Attendant Christopher “Chris” Corde. On Wednesday, October 5, Chris was closing out a valet ticket for a customer, the customer was clearly intoxicated and was not able to enter his information in the system to pay for his service

Chris recognize that the customer was intoxicated and went into action to protect the customer, employees, and those on the road traveling in the line of sight Chris offered to escort the customer to the taxi booth to get a ride home The customer was compliant with Chris and proceeded to the taxi booth to return the next day and pick up his vehicle

Chris took the initiative and closed out the ticket so the customer would not be charged for an additional day. He made sure that the shift coming in to relieve him was aware of the situation and where they could locate the vehicle, since it was an extra car in their inventory.

SHARON SHAW RETIRES AFTER 30 YEARS OF SERVICE

Sharon Shaw will retire from Charleston County Aviation Authority as a Public Safety Telecommunicator II, after 30 years of service, on December 30, 2022! She discussed her highlight and motivation for coming to work with us

"The environment in which I work has been one of the motivating factors that have kept me coming to work for over 30 years My co workers and I work together to provide outstanding customer service It isn’t easy working in a service oriented, public safety job position However, my department is like a family. We face challenges and grow together as one. We embrace each other’s strengths as well as weaknesses Our buzzword is “team,” which stands for Together Everyone Achieves More An upbeat environment is what we strive for each day Like Helen Keller once said, 'Alone, we can do a little Together we can do so much '" Sharon stated.

Entering retirement, Sharon says. she's been blessed with the birth of a grandson born in June; and fraternal twins, born in September. This is in addition to the three grandchildren she already has. Her three children reside in Clover, SC; Charlotte, NC; and Gaffney, SC,

Therefore, Sharon plans to spend some time traveling and stepping further into her role as a blessed grandmother. She also plans on engaging in some service oriented work in her church and community. This will include reconnecting with the Coastal Crisis Chaplaincy Survivorship Group, maybe volunteering with the Red Cross, and signing up again for Substitute Teaching. "Wherever I can spread my wings, shine my light, and bring tidings of harmony and cheer, that’s where one will be able to find me," Sharon said.

Congratulations on your retirement and your wonderful career!
