Knight Federal recognizes that driven and loyal employees empower an organization.  In an effort to recognize and encourage such outstanding performance, we have implemented an Employee of the Quarter (EOQ) award for our Suffolk, VA employees.  The EOQ Program recognizes the outstanding qualities and contributions of employees towards Knight Federal’s goals and mission.

Show your appreciation and acknowledge an outstanding employee by nominating him/her for the Employee of the Quarter Award! The next Employee of the Quarter will be selected in September.  Deadline for nomination forms is August 31, 2018.

This award recognizes the accomplishments of individuals employed by Knight Federal’s Suffolk, VA location. Four individuals will receive the award each year. The honor will be awarded the beginning of April, July, October and December during the Christmas party for an outstanding employee from the three preceding months.

EOQ 2018 Winners:
April – June – Glenn James – J7

Glenn was awarded with this for exceptional efforts over the past quarter, assigned as the computer account builder for every event held in the building. Glenn has really stepped up in a big way and it is very much appreciated. Glenn embodies the phrase, “Team Player.”   The success achieved by the Joint Staff J7 during the past quarter is directly related to Glenn’s outstanding efforts.

Glenn James receives employee of the quarter award.

January – March – Louis E. Williams
Louis truly distinguished himself during this quarter through his support of the EUCOM Event Exercise 18.  Louis deployed to an austere environment and set up the Network that supported Model & Simulations, VTCs and voice communications.  The EUCOM Event is the Joint Staff J7’s and European Command’s largest and most complex exercise.  The success achieved by the Joint Staff J7 during the EUCOM Event 18 is directly related to Louis’ outstanding efforts.

Louis Williams is presented with the employee of the quarter award for January-March.
