The State of Missouri Award of Distinction for Leadership was awarded to Ashley Robinett, a Probation and Parole Officer with the Department of Corrections.

The team member “sets the standard” for others to follow, and consistently performs at a superior level in achieving significant and tangible benefits for his/her department/agency (as demonstrated by guiding, directing, or influencing fellow team members positively and productively).

The next time you are given the opportunity, go ahead and give a ‘thumbs up’ on a virtual platform or, if you prefer, give your team member a good, old fashioned, handwritten note showing appreciation. You won’t be sorry you did!”
