The Outstanding Team Member Award

 

NOVA Postal and Distribution Services Staff Member Recognized for Outstanding Service

NOVA Postal and Distribution Services (P&DS) Team Member Tien M. Vo received the College and University Mail Service Association (CUMSA) Outstanding Team Member Award for 2008 a the regional CUMSA Conference hosted by Berry College and Kennesaw State University in the Greater Atlanta Area. Vo was chosen for his overall contributions to the NOVA P&DS operation and professional development achievements by the CUMSA Award Committee. The award stated in part that Vo, administrative program specialist II, joined NOVA in 2004 having come to P&DS fully qualified in all areas of postal operations. Since arriving at NOVA, Vo has shown his great skills in numerous areas of the division. Within the first two weeks of employment he quickly learned the codes for postal operating and sorting systems, P-B Business Manager, MOS iMCM Accounting System and Mailing Equipment, ARMS Tracking System and APS Stores Inventory System. In working with the mailing equipment using his background and “tricks of the trade” he had learned over the years, he was able to solve many of the little bugs that we all encounter in our daily operations, thus saving downtime and service calls. His background in bulk mailing allowed him to move over to that area as needed to assist or cover this area of the operation. This past year, NOVA P&DS was offered the opportunity to assist a county agency is training an adult with disabilities in job skills. A hearing/speech impaired adult came to the operation as a volunteer in the County’s Job Training Program. Vo took this person under his wing, and over a six month time period, he patiently developed procedures to train the volunteer in all of the areas of the division. His training was so successful that P&DS was able to hire the one-time volunteer as a P-14 employee. On the professional development side, Vo has been a long time member of the USPS - Northern Virginia Postal Customer Council (NVPCC). In addition, he earned the USPS - MQC Certification in April 2007. While attending the 2007 UMMA Conference and the 2007 Greater St. Louis PCC Conference, Vo earned two USPS Certificates in: Mail Services Teamwork and Strategies and College and University Mail Center Manager Professional Certificate. In order to be considered for the “Outstanding Team Member,” Vo was required to be a Non-Manager employee of a college and university operation that is a paid member of CUMSA (a minimum of three years of employment). He also had to demonstrate that he has made significant contributions to the overall operation of the campus mail services, made significant contributions in the community or to the overall college/university mission and has had professional/personal development involvement. We congratulate Vo on this exceptional accomplishment.
