 Well done – Great employers, helping youth and honors for the sheriff and criminal justice unit
Each issue, eScoop would like to give a shout-out to employees and departments who have earned special recognition. We want to hear about colleagues who have earned kudos on the job as well as those being recognized for their work or volunteerism outside the office.
This issue, we'll read about Pima County ITD earning “Employer of the Year” kudos, how a national grant is helping vulnerable youth, and honors for the County Sheriff and an employee in the Criminal Justice Reform Unit.

Stop and think before using that ink
When we think about the environmental impact of printing, we usually focus on the amount and type of paper used. This makes sense since the connection between paper, trees and the environment are well established and direct – but what about all the ink and toner cartridges we use? They, too, have an impact. Learn why we should also care about cartridge waste.
