The Ohio Supreme Court bestowed its highest honors to three employees during a packed courtroom ceremony attended by Justices and staff.

The 15th Annual Employee Recognition event included a presentation of the Professional Excellence Awards to: Roger Eden, security officer in the Office of Court Security; Kathy Maloney, judicial system writer in the Office of Public Information; and Erin Waltz, library public services manager in the Law Library.

The employees distinguished themselves in any or all of three categories:

• Demonstrating superior achievement in the completion of a special project or assignment.
• Consistently displaying professional excellence in the performance of their regularly assigned duties.
• Displaying a positive attitude toward one’s work, fellow employees, and the constituencies of the Supreme Court.

An awards committee selected the honorees after reviewing nominations submitted by internal personnel.

The Court also honored 42 employees for five, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years of service.
