ANNAPOLIS, MD (June 18, 2024) – The Maryland Department of Agriculture recently honored LaTasha Gresham (Human Resources) with an employee recognition award during the June 12 General Staff meeting.  Nominated by Human Resources Director Gwen Schindler, LaTasha was presented with the award and a gift honoring her commitment to the Department and its employees.  A master multi-tasker, LaTasha manages the administrative work for MDA’s personnel office. She is able to manage a large amount of detail with confidentiality and in a very organized fashion. She is very level-headed, responsive and professional. Additionally, LaTasha is one of the MDA employees with the most forward-facing customers, as she is the front line for Human Resources, receiving inquiries from employees, supervisors, managers, executives, and applicants.  When unsure of where to start, employees will come to her for information. 

“LaTasha’s hard work and dedication to the MDA Mission have earned her this honor,” said Maryland Agriculture Secretary Kevin Atticks. “It is crucial to have a friendly and knowledgeable Human Resources department, and LaTasha exemplifies that. I thank her for her continued service to MDA.”
