Jennifer Atkinson is the accounting assistant for TARCOG and is being recognized for the “behind the scenes” work she does that keeps our office running without a hitch.
An example included a recent incident with legal sized envelopes. Jennifer ordered them before we ran out, but when they arrived, they were the wrong size. Since we mail a lot of documents, Jennifer made a call and we got the correct order delivered the same day.
Jennifer ensures all of our receipts are recorded. She keeps if fun by referring to our gas receipts as her “paper dolls.” She makes sure our accounts are paid, places orders for supplies, and uses her connections to make it happen quickly and correctly.
“Jennifer is just a really sweet person and does quite a lot behind scenes that most people don’t talk about,” the nomination says.
