First Selectman Matt Hoey has announced that Recreation Supervisor Ellen Clow and Recreation Program Coordinator Taryn Erb have been named as recipients of the Guilford Employee Recognition Award. Hoey, who initiated this program, has encouraged all employees to nominate fellow employees to be recognized for outstanding achievement and performance in their work.

Park and Recreation Director Rick Maynard praised both employees for doing “a remarkable job with recreation programming, summer staff training, and overseeing Day Camp and Aquatic Programs.”

When a full-time employee left in early May, both went above and beyond their own duties during this busiest time of year to perform many additional tasks. Maynard continued, that “both worked long hours on weekends”, and often stayed late to make sure that all their normal work was competed, including the payroll for camp and aquatic staff.

Clow has worked for the Town of Guilford since 2007. After working several years as a seasonal employee, Erb has worked full-time for the Town since 2019.
