Wayne Community College’s unit of the Association of Educational Office Professionals (AEOP) honored its administrator and professional of the year at its annual Administrators Luncheon.
Patricia Pfeiffer, chair of the college’s Allied Health and Public Services Division, was presented the 2014-15 Administrator of the Year award.
In announcing the award, Unit Awards Chair Linda Berard called Mrs. Pfeiffer “an excellent example of work ethic, leadership, communication, and a love for learning.”
The group noted that Pfeiffer, who has been a WCC employee for nearly 29 years, “serves as a role model to everyone and never asks others to do anything she is not willing to do herself.”
Annette Hill, the administrative assistant for WCC’s Dental Department, was named the Educational Office Professional of the Year.
Hill “epitomizes the definition of professional” and “exemplifies what it means to be an outstanding AEOP member,” Mrs. Berard said. “She truly cares for the staff and faculty and is there to guide the students through her department.”
The AEOP is a professional organization of educational office personnel and administrators. It provides its members educational opportunities, a professional standards certificate program, scholarships for member and students, a legislative platform, and awards at levels from the individual unit to the state organization.
