Shout out to Lisa Weaver (BG2EAA)!
Shout out to Lisa Weaver for stepping in to cover cash report duties for a coworker who was out on extended leave. Lisa did an excellent job in providing a seamless transition while also providing cash reports and processing month-end reclasses in a timely manner.

Shout out to Mitchell Lucia (BIA)!
Shout out to Mitchell for bringing his Tableau skills to the OCFO Risk Survey briefing deck. He worked with team members within BIS and created a variety of visuals within less than two weeks that highlight perceptions of GSA's ability to respond to risks and vulnerabilities. The results that were visualized will be used to inform the 2024 Enterprise Risk Profile and assist GSA in pinpointing major risks and supporting risk owners as they mitigate them.
Thank you for covering down quickly and serving within this effort to the benefit of BI and just being a great team member within BI :)

Shout out to John Willett and Aria Lippolis (both BGF)!
Shout out to John and Aria for the development of the fund cert web app! Way to explore alternative methods for a more interactive report to track actions! Keep up the good work!

Shout out to Gail Bruss (BGA)!
Gail is the GSA G-Invoicing guru who has helped so many people in various areas of GSA learn how to process inter-agency orders. If you are in OCFO, PBS, FAS, or AAS, she has you covered! Gail has been by my side for over eight months as we worked on a very special inter-agency agreement together that we finally completed. I would not have been able to do this without her. She is always so calm and knowledgeable and is a prime example of how GSA has the best people! Thank you, Gail, for all of your help!
