In this age of computers and electronic data storage and access, our entire organization relies heavily on information technology for smooth operation. So the expectations on our IT department are great. IT Specialist, Patrick Blauvelt meets those challenges every day with technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and a friendly, can-do attitude. He always seems to come through, whether it’s performing a routine task or rolling up his sleeves to tackle that big, unexpected project. “No matter how big or small, I can call Patrick and he fixes the problem in a matter of minutes,” commented one staff member. Raves another, “He’s always eager to help and solve problems.” And when the frustrations of human verses computer reach the boiling point, he becomes a patient and willing instructor. “Patrick is very helpful and understanding when you have a question about your computer,” said a coworker. “He will show you what he is doing and give you time to take notes so you can do it yourself next time.” “He never hesitates to help out when asked,” reports another. “Patrick is a team player.” Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition. And thanks for all you do for the Credit Union!
