Sinclair vies for Co-Mo award

Co-Mo Electric employee Cathy Sinclair was named Employee of the Quarter at a recent meeting at company headquarters in Tipton.

Sinclair joins first-quarter winners Bob Fisher and Brian Layman in the running to win the first O.B. Clark Members First Award, to be given at the cooperative’s May 2011 annual meeting.

The annual award is named after longtime Co-Mo Electric board member O.B. Clark, of Versailles, who also served in numerous regional and statewide positions before retiring in 2009. Staff members are nominated by colleagues or members of the community during each quarter, and winners are chosen by a committee of four Co-Mo staff members. The four quarterly award winners will be eligible to win the annual award.

Sinclair was awarded for handling a member’s phone call earlier this year with what the member called “outstanding” skill, according to a news release from Co-Mo.

To nominate a staff member, pick up a form at a Co-Mo office or e-mail jagliata@co-mo.coop to be mailed one.
