She transferred to Finance in August 2015 as a Purchasing Technician and later transitioned into her current role of Buyer. Ashley has consistently received outstanding evaluations as a La Porte employee, averaging over a 4.10 rating on our 5-point scale. Ashley was nominated this quarter by her manager, Cherrell Daeumer, for her willingness and eagerness to assist others. Ashley took the initiative to develop a webex module to train our new users (and refresh others) on all of the Purchasing functions in ONESolution. This training modu screen on their computers as she navigated the step by step process on how to enter a purchase request, process and approve p-card payments, as well as other purchasing functions. This training method allowed employees to participate without leaving their offices. . Her ciling p-card payments in a timely manner is very valuable. Ashely has also been instrumental in the City receiving the Achievement of Excellence in Procurement award through the National Procurement Institute for the past five years. One criteria for this award Is the use of an electronic, interactive solicitation system. This is demonstrated by online vendor registration, posting, and downloading of solicitations electronically, and posting bid tabulations and award documentation on the Purchasing web page. All of these items are maintained by Ashley. She is a great asset to the Purchasing team and the City of La Porte team as a whole. She always goes above and beyond to help others. A recent example is her work as a member of the employee activity committee that planned and worked at the Fall Family Festival. For her technical expertise and her willingness to help customers and teammates, please join me in congratulating Ashley Lovercheck as our 2019 Employee of the Third Quarter.
