About the Governor's Long Term Employee Reception

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.

On August 25, 2009, the governor honored 374 employees, having served either 35, 40 or 45 years, for a total of 13,515 years of service to the state. Of the 374, 299 have been state employees for 35 years; 65 have been with the state for 40 years and 10 honorees have been state employees for 45 years. The departments of Revenue, Child Services and Transportation have employees in each of the three categories.

Congratulations to the following individuals and their agencies for their service:
