MACOMB, IL – Western Illinois University Office Manager Stacy Dorethy has been named the Al and Elaine Goldfarb Civil Service Employee of the Month for August.

Dorethy was hired in June 2008 as an office support associate for the business advising center. In February 2009, she was reclassified to an office support specialist, and in June 2012, she was promoted to office manager in the WIU Department of Art, her current position.

According to Dorethy's nominator, she does her job duties "without complaint and with enthusiasm and vigor."

"She is invaluable to running the department," the nominator said. "Her organizational skills, combined with her enthusiasm, help make Rocky on Parade a success every year, a committee she is part of voluntarily, which partners the community and WIU. Stacy has worked with the Rocky on Parade committee to help raise thousands of dollars and make this the largest WIU/community public art project in the history of Macomb and Western. She is a valued asset to the department, both in duties and as an ambassador."

Dorethy will be presented her award at 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20 in Garwood Hall, room 10.

In August 2010, the Goldfarbs established an endowment to permanently fund the University's Civil Service Employee of the Month award. The Goldfarb endowment is used to fund a $100 award for the recipient of the Civil Service Employee of the Month, as well as a plaque.

The WIU Foundation provides a $500 stipend for the Civil Service Employee of the Year. Western faculty, staff and administrators, as well as community members, wishing to nominate a civil service employee for the monthly recognition should contact Civil Service Employees Council (CSEC) representative Alisha Looney at AA-Looney@wiu.edu.
