CRD is pleased to announce that Hunter Jackson, a compliance and enforcement specialist, has been named Employee of the Quarter for Summer 2024. 

This recognition highlights Jackson’s outstanding dedication, positive attitude, and unwavering commitment to his role and the broader mission of CRD.

Doug Haymans, director of CRD, shared his enthusiasm in a recent announcement: “Hunter seems to always have the right attitude, and he consistently goes above and beyond his normal duties, especially in educational projects. Despite the challenges he faces in his regular tasks, Hunter remains positive, always with a smile on his face.”

Jackson’s role in compliance and enforcement often involves difficult situations, but his professionalism and good nature never waver. Whether tackling the most demanding tasks or assisting with team efforts, Jackson approaches his work with enthusiasm and a can-do attitude that has earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues, Haymans said.

As the Summer 2024 Employee of the Quarter, Jackson will receive a certificate of recognition, a prime parking spot, and a $25 cash award. This honor reflects Jackson’s exceptional contributions to CRD and his commitment to excellence in every aspect of his work.

Jackson came to CRD in November of 2020 and first worked as a permit coordinator before moving into his role with Compliance and Enforcement. Unfortunately for CRD, Jackson has decided to accept a new position near Mobile, Ala., so he can be closer to loved ones. His last day is August 31.
