MACOMB, IL – Western Illinois University Building Service Worker Charles Eddington has been named the Al and Elaine Goldfarb Civil Service Employee of the Month for October 2022.

Eddington was hired in his current position in August 1998. He is currently working in Malpass Library.

According to his nominator, Eddington always tackles additional requests with enthusiasm and a smile.

"Charles takes pride in what he does, and it is reflected in the condition of the building," his nominator said. "He routinely stops by the Library administration office to discuss issues. He is a hard-working and dedicated employee, and goes above and beyond to keep our building an inviting space for all visitors."

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 the Civil Service Employees Council (CSEC) at csec-nominations-g@wiu.edu.
