Client of the Quarter Internal Audit is excited to recognize Donna Nemeth, Administrative Secretary at Real Estate Management, as this quarter’s Client of the Quarter. Even though Donna is new to the district, she has proven to be a quick study. She provided timely information, valuable insights, and proactive support during the Facilities Use Management audit. Donna is always available and quickly responds to calls and emails, making everything run much smoother. Her dedication and her never saying, “that’s not my responsibility” attitude truly stand out! Donna’s hard work makes a difference, and we appreciate her efforts and willingness to go the extra mile. Congratulations, Donna!
