Carrie Warren receives top employee award
from the Michigan Department of Transportation

 

August 6, 2018 -- Carrie Warren, a native of Cadillac, has received the 2018 Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Director's Award - the department's highest honor for outstanding service. MDOT established the annual award nearly 30 years ago to recognize employees who exhibit leadership and exemplary public service.

            "MDOT employees are committed to keeping Michigan's transportation system moving smoothly for residents and businesses, and communication is key to that success," said State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle. "With exceptional public relation skills, Carrie effectively relates to the citizens she serves. While I am proud of our entire workforce, Director's Award recipients like Carrie stand out because they are nominated by their peers for this special recognition."

            Warren was honored in the professional, specialist category. Her ability to engage customers can be seen in her work on the I-94 project in Metro Detroit. By attending virtually every public meeting and taking the time to meet with local residents, Warren encouraged the open exchange of ideas, fostered positive interactions, and increased public confidence in MDOT. As a proud Detroit resident, she lets the public know that she is one of them and allows residents to see MDOT as a trusted partner.

            The Director's Award program represents the various work categories within the department. While MDOT employees nominate their peers, committees comprised of workers from each category make the final recommendations to the department.
