Congrats to Tami Ryall

It's obvious from prior posts that we are big fans of Tami Ryall, the Town's Deputy Town Manager. (My personal admiration may have something to do with the fact that she has graciously allowed our son to shadow her two years running for the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council program's government days.) The Mister says that she has not gotten nearly enough credit for her work, especially on the San Tan Freeway. Well, apparently we are not the only ones to notice her stellar service to the town:

One of Gilbert's high-ranking staff members has received a state award from a national organization of public-sector administrators.The American
Society of Public Administration's Arizona chapter presented the award to Deputy
Town Manager Tami Ryall for outstanding public service this month.

And then they note her achievements:

Helga Stafford, town neighborhood services specialist, nominated Ryall and said her innovative work with Gilbert's infrastructure and transportation
warranted recognition.Ryall has spearheaded several freeway and road projects, including transforming drainage basins into dog and recreation parks and bringing railroad- and agriculture-inspired graphics to walls lining portions of Gilbert roads.

Congratulations, Tami!
