Mississippi Office Recognized

From the Delta Democrat Times of Greenville, Mississippi:

Fast, accurate work delivered with a positive attitude has earned the Greenville Social Security Administration District Office the Outstanding Level One Field Office of the Year for Fiscal Year 2007.

The Greenville office was selected for the honor over 120 other offices in the seven states of the Atlanta Region, according to Regional Commissioner Paul Barnes, who presented the award to Bill Allen, Greenville director, on Tuesday in the federal building. ...

Allen said he owes the success of the office to employees who have been with him for many years. One of the 20 employees at the Greenville office, Joyce Boykin, service representative, was there when Allen arrived 36 years ago. He has been with the Social Security Administration for a total of 46 years and says he has no plans to retire.

“I enjoy coming to work every day and I enjoy the interaction with the community that our job requires,” Allen said.

Barnes said this is the second time that the Greenville office has won this award. The office received the award in 2002.

“It's unusual to win it at all, but to win it two times is really quite remarkable,” Barnes said.
