Surrounded by colleagues and friends, she received the annual award Tuesday from City Manager Dennis Wilberg.
Kelly performs her administrative duties at the highest level with attention to detail, exemplary customer service and is the epitome of a team player.
In fact, Kelly has gone the extra distance to develop her skillset, mastering her administrative assistant job duties and beyond. She serves as an extra set of hands for the IT department on the technical level. Her expanded skills include application management, development and redesign of various City websites, coordinating migration to a new graphic design platform and many other extensive tasks such as creating technical documentation and assisting with the City’s cybersecurity training program.
Anyone fortunate to work with Kelly will tell you she is helpful, friendly and always willing to take on any project or volunteer for the good of the City team and community at large.
“Kelly Ellis is the perfect combination of possessing a great attitude and follow-through and sets a great example for the City of Mission Viejo,” said Director of Information Technology David Meyer. “She is truly the essence of what this award is all about.”
The City of Mission Viejo appreciates Kelly’s outstanding efforts and commitment to this community. She will be honored by the City Council in January.
