July Honoree

Trisha Nelson is a Management Associate at the Office of Facilities Management’s Baltimore Public Buildings and Grounds unit.  She has been with DGS for six years. Not only is Trisha a very important contributor to the success of the Baltimore region’s work, she is the nucleus that holds the office together. Trisha monitors the day-to-day activities in Baltimore and keeps everyone accountable.  She keeps the ship pointed straight and running smooth.  She reviews bills, invoices and is part of the approval path for all purchases.  She prepares meeting notes and ensures the timeliness and accuracy of information passed along.   She trains employees on new processes.  She pushes everyone along to ensure deadlines are kept and she advocates for the division and everyone on the team. Trisha is a powerful team-player.  She is very approachable to everyone and always willing to help…but when necessary, she has no problem nudging folks in the right direction.  She can teach the oldest dog new tricks and is very patient when teaching staff.  She has a very soft touch and will stay with it as long as it takes. Trisha is part of Baltimore’s employee onboarding team.  She is the first friendly voice that new hires hear, because she also sets up interviews and coordinates the hiring process with DGS Human Resources.  She also collects keys and ID card when an employee departs State service.
