Tad Rasmussen

We would like to nominate Tad Rasmussen for Employee of the Month…..

I first met Tad when we worked together in 2001. Back then, he worked as an Accounting Clerk, quietly going about his business. He was thorough, prompt, kind and always a team player. I was happy to find Tad again when I returned to the Auditor’s Office 20 years later. Once again, I found Tad quietly going about his business. His humble demeanor makes him approachable. His dedication to the County and its processes means he is a wealth of knowledge and a great teacher. His institutional knowledge makes him irreplaceable. Over the last year or so, Tad has helped me with SO many questions. In the beginning, he was a wonderful and patient trainer. He was always well prepared and provided so many additional resources to help me become an independent worker and good employee. Later, I would see him simply passing by my desk. He was always quick with a joke or some tidbit to make us smile. As I transitioned away from the Auditor’s office, Tad was a lifeline. I called him about a range of topics and peppered him with questions Do you know who does ? Do you know what so and so’s name is? Do you know how to? Where do I___? Even when I didn’t want to follow instructions, Tad was kind, patient, and supportive, saying “I know it’s hard, but that’s the way we have to do it.” He would repeat this in a calm voice until I got the message. Tad is truly a humble servant of the taxpayers. He is always willing to help and go out of his way to move processes forward. I would love to thank him publicly for his years of dedication and kindness. ~ Monica Critchlow – Program Coordinator, ARPA/Budget

Tad has been helpful to our team. He has made training materials available, continued to coach through rough spots, and followed up to make sure we understood. He continues to recommend resources, most recently helping us with travel. He is kind and prompt when assisting the grants office with our purchasing department needs – from contracts to vendor registration and RFP (request for proposal) help.
We appreciate Tad and his institutional knowledge; and would like to nominate him for Employee of the Month. ~Peter Brown – ARPA Budget Manager
