City of Milford Names Sue LaFond as Employee of the Month

Congratulations to Susan “Sue” LaFond Administrative Assistant in the Department of Permitting & Land Use for being selected as Employee of the Month for August 2021.

As the recipient of the award for the Mayor’s Employee of the Month Program, please join us in extending a warm congratulation to Sue in receiving this recognition.  After a review of all of the nominations, the Selection Committee unanimously chose her as the winner for her teamwork, strong work ethic, friendly and courteous disposition and for always going above and beyond the call of duty.   

Sue began her employment with the City on March 19, 2018, as Administrative Assistant.  The Permitting and Land Use Department encompasses Planning and Zoning, Building Inspection, and Inland/Wetlands. Sue quickly acclimated to the fast pace of the department.  She mastered the many tasks she is responsible to perform in support of the Building Official and City Planner.  She disseminates information regarding policy and departmental functions, assuring adherence to departmental policies using various database management and electronic programs.  The day-to-day office procedural duties are numerous and involve communication with other city departments regarding department financial records, employee records and payroll.

Sue tackles the many incoming calls with efficiency. She responds cheerfully, providing assistance throughout the permitting process.  Anyone who requires the services of the department are greeted by Sue’s welcoming smile. Homeowners, contractors, fellow staff, as well as attorneys have learned they can always approach Sue and will be met with an empathetic and caring ear, knowing she will go beyond their expectations to assist them.

Sue consistently strives to provide efficient, professional services to all who require the services of the department.  She symbolizes the attributes of a valued city employee.  These are just a few of the many reasons the Mayor extends his sincere congratulations and appreciation to Sue for the outstanding attributes she exhibits as Employees of the Month.

Again, congratulations to Sue!
