The Coastal Resources Division is proud to recognize Amy Smith as the Employee of the Quarter for April through June 2025.

In the months following the retirement of a key colleague, Smith has taken on the challenge of managing responsibilities for both positions within her unit. Her efforts have ensured that daily operations continue to run smoothly and efficiently.

In addition to her expanded workload, Smith has led initiatives to modernize outdated processes—particularly in compliance—working to improve how landings are tracked and tied to individual fishermen, closing important reporting gaps. She has also advanced her skills in SQL, using both standard and custom queries to support quality assurance and data tracking.

Beyond her technical contributions, Smith remains the Division’s go-to expert for health care benefits, offering guidance and support to colleagues across the organization. She received a certificate of recognition, a prime parking space, and a $25 cash award.
