Neither Cold Nor Blizzard Nor Gloom of Night . . .

February 21st, 2011 | by Tim Elliott

In the wee hours of February 9, 2011 a huge winter storm hit Oklahoma and North Texas. Oklahoma City itself received nearly a foot of snow as temperatures plunged into the teens.

This was the situation when, at 5:30 that morning, Standley Systems service representative Jeff Watkins was awakened by a phone call from the Oklahoma County Sherriff’s department.

A vital printer at the department had failed and was generating a code that indicated service was required. By 5:45 Jeff was bundled up against the cold and on his way. By 7:35, the sheriffs department’s printer was fully operational.

Jeff’s quick response, dedication and expertise make us proud. And his work is a reflection of Standley’s commitment to matchless service. When we say we’re committed to advancing your workflow 24/7, we mean it.

Over the last few months, we worked with The Journal Record to help recognize the state’s leading executive assistants through this first-of-its-kind statewide contest. See my earlier post on the subject here.

On Thursday, January 13th, Jayna Anderson, Standley Systems’ Senior V.P. of Sales, presented the top honor to Alison Scott, executive assistant with Oklahoma-City based Asset Group Inc., in a special ceremony held at the Skirvin Hilton hotel. The other finalists were Janny Cooper, Office of Gov. Brad Henry; Darlene Drew, Oklahoma Housing Finance Agency; Judie Harris, Francis Tuttle Technology Center; DesJean Jones, Jordan Associates; and Kelly McConnell, Chesapeake Energy Corp.

Congratulations, Alison! And a heartfelt “thank you” to all the outstanding men and women serving in this critical role, and helping Oklahoma’s businesses flourish.
