Congratulations to Aspen VanDerwerken Maxwell, Rangeland Management Specialist, with Team 6 in Tucumcari, NM. Aspen has been selected as the New Mexico Employee of the Month for May 2023.
Aspen attended the 2023 Society for Range Management (SRM) meeting and took the initiative to present on vegetative monitoring to a group of over 80 SRM members. Her presentation promoted NRCS and provided a unique New Mexico perspective on rangeland monitoring in New Mexico to participants from multiple states and other federal agencies.
As a result of Aspen’s effort, NRCS New Mexico was spotlighted at a national professional meeting. The focused attention provided an opportunity for other range professionals to consider NRCS, specifically NRCS New Mexico, as a potential employer of choice. This was also a high-level career development opportunity for Aspen, who was able to improve her networking, presentation, and public speaking skills.
Congratulations on a job well done!
