Maui Economic Opportunity has named Human Resources Administrative Specialist Kristen Sato as its Employee of the Month for February.

Sato has been with MEO since March 2018.

“Her personality is sparkling and you feel like you have known her forever,” said Mae Koyanagi, who nominated Sato for the honor. “She is very easy to talk to and never shows any annoyance with me ever, especially when I ask for impossible favors.”

For being named Employee of the Month for February, Sato earned a $150 check and an extra vacation day. She was honored at MEO’s general staff meeting in March. Koyanagi received $50 as the nominator.
