July 2024 Honoree

Abebi Ahmed 
Abebi Ahmed (Laila) started with the fiscal unit in a contractual role in late 2023 to help our Accounts Payable (A/P) unit manage increased workloads due to the eMMA conversion. She did a wonderful job of learning the process and quickly got up to speed on all things A/P, becoming a valuable member of the team. In April 2024, a full time position opened in our payroll unit, and we were thrilled to have Laila join us as a full-time employee. While she was learning the payroll process, we still had some staff shortages in A/P. So, we tasked Laila to help the A/P unit. She handled this dual role wonderfully and really helped the A/P unit to stay on time with our payments while also ensuring she learned her new role and was effective in processing payroll each week. Her flexibility in helping to manage the workloads from two units is a testament to her team first mentality. Thank you for your hard work and extra efforts!
