NASDA STAFF MEMBER HONORED BY USDA
News Date December 11, 2007
Betsy Maixner, NASDA's manager of information services, has been honored as a "Cooperator of the Year" by USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
Deputy Administrator for Field Operations, Marshall Dantzler, presented the award in ceremonies last week at USDA headquarters. Dantzler cited Betsy's accomplishments in providing outstanding support for the Census of Agriculture by coordinating the audiotaping of public service announcements, leading the development of a series of interactive training videos for NASDA enumerators, and initiating the production and distribution of the NASDA Enumerator Newsletter.
NASS Administrator Ron Bosecker said, "Betsy's efforts have provided training materials used to train approximately 3,500 NASDA enumerators at a fraction of the cost of many commercial training programs, for the benefit of the field offices." (Contact: Rick Kirchhoff)
