OKLAHOMA CITY - Citing her outstanding leadership qualities, high
standards, achievements, and strong commitment to public service, the Oklahoma
Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration has presented

"The honor is given to public servants whose work has
achieved the recognition of their colleagues within the public service
community," explained Ed Long, the Chapter's coordinator of this year's

"In my public sector career, I have been incredibly blessed

dedication to meeting the awesome responsibility placed on someone charged with
the public's trust have made my work as fulfilling as I ever hoped it to be."
