Ag Department Recognizes Employees for Years of Service

Each year, the Illinois Department of Agriculture holds a holiday luncheon to honor all employees and recognize a select few for their outstanding service.

This year, the Department's Legislative Liaison, Laura Sinclair of Petersburg, received the top honor, the Director's Achievement Award. The award goes to someone who has achieved excellence in his/her job over the past year.

Two area residents were recognized for years of service milestones. 

Donald Ruckman of Altamont was recognized for 25 years' service, while David Dhom of Newton was recognized for 20 years' service.
