Long Term Employees
About the Governor's Long Term Employee Reception
At a recent reception Governor Daniels honored 299 state employees for their long-term service to the state. Those employees, each having served at least 35 years, represent a whopping 10,920 years of service to the State of Indiana and her people.
Each August Governor Daniels honors state employees for their service. Long-term employees are considered to be those with at least 35 years of service to the State of Indiana. Since 2005, Gov. Daniels has honored not only 35 years of service, but also those with 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 years of government employment.
This year’s honorees include six employees who have been state employees for 50 years, 11 who have served for 45 years, 51 with 40 years of service and 231 who have been public servants for 35 years. Congratulations to the following individuals and their agencies for their service:
