Maui Economic Opportunity Finance Manager Allison Springer has been named the agency’s Employee of the Quarter for the April-through-June period.

Springer was recognized for her work in financial compliance and processing payments for the grants that support MEO programs.

“She is highly detail-oriented and methodical, particularly in reviewing and approving requisitions for payment,” said Vanna Duarte, one of two people who nominated Springer. “Her diligence ensures that all processes are handled carefully and correctly.

“In addition, she demonstrates flexibility and creativity in adapting to changing priorities and finding effective solutions.”

Springer joined MEO in 2016 and was promoted to finance manager in March.

Her other nominator, who remained anonymous, said Springer works with “dependability, integrity and personal excellence in every assignment.”

“While she prefers to stay behind the scenes, I think it is important to acknowledge her important contributions,” the nominator said.

Springer received $150 and an extra day off for the recognition.
