MACOMB, IL -- The Civil Service Employees Council (CSEC) at Western Illinois University is pleased to announce that Donna Corrie, an administrative clerk in the Small Business Development Center (SBDC), has been selected as the October Civil Service Employee of the Month.

Corrie was recognized by her nominators for her continued dedication to the center and its efforts. “The program has expanded and developed because of Donna’s initiative to maintain the quality of the center, and her attention to detail is the reason the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity Small Business Division requested that Western’s SBDC be a test site for software programs,” according to her nominators. Corrie was also instrumental in organizing and setting up the office during its recent move to the new Western Illinois Business and Technology Center in the former former porcelain manufacturing facility, PPC, located off East Pierce Street in Macomb.

Corrie began working at Western in August 1988 as a secretary III in the Regional Development Office.

“Donna’s commitment to this University and the region and her loyalty to the Small Business Development Center are to be highly praised,” said Janet Koll, CSEC public relations officer.

Western faculty, staff and administrators, as well as community members, wishing to nominate a civil service employee for this recognition should call Koll at 309/298-1811 or e-mail JM-Koll@wiu.edu.
