Greetings and Happy New Year!

 

As we get back into the swing of things, I wanted to send you all a quick email to let you know how excited I am about working with you all as the newly appointed System-wide Training Coordinator. My goal in this position is to develop a training program that is fun, beneficial, and meets the needs and interests of those that represent the backbone of this organization – our staff. It will be my job to provide training opportunities that will help you do what you already do just a little bit easier – that is, provide the best customer service around!!

 

Leilany Vazquez, Administrative Assistant for the Training Team, is now reporting to me.  Other staff members from Public Services are also assisting me on a part-time basis: Suzanne Rickles, Sarah Ortiz and Daniel Pillow.  I plan to also ask other staff members for assistance on an as needed basis. If you are interested, please let me know!

 

If you have any ideas for trainings, have a particular training need, or come across a great training opportunity, please do not hesitate to forward them to the Training Team at  hpltraining@houstontx.gov .  Any requests for training, training reports, or other training-related information should be sent to this email address.  Due to tracking issues, we will not be able to accept requests via phone, in-person, or other means moving forward. 

 

Additionally, please remember to send Leilany a copy (electronically via email or printed through delivery) of your certificates after you have taken training that can be counted towards your training requirement for the EPE cycle.  Please include your employee number on the certificate or in the email as well. 

 

Please be on the lookout for future communications from me regarding various training opportunities…stay tuned!

 

Best regards,

Suzy Benton, MLIS

System-wide Training Coordinator
