Ministers' Council applauds exceptional service anniversary
In a heartfelt ceremony, District Administrator Achim Hallerbach recognised and celebrated the dedication of ten long-serving colleagues in the Neuwied district administration. Among those honoured were Christa Nilges and Ralf Volkert, who have served for an impressive 40 years.
The esteemed colleagues received warm wishes for their continued service from District Administrator Hallerbach, Personnel Director Florian Nußbaum, Christina Pfeiffer from the works council, and other distinguished guests.
Christa Nilges, a clerk who has worked in various positions within the Neuwied district administration for decades, was praised for her unwavering commitment and contribution to the district. Ralf Volkert, a civil servant in the audit committee, was also lauded for his diligent work and dedication over the years.
The challenges faced by the district administration are increasing, but these long-serving colleagues have managed to meet the ever-growing expectations and demands with experience, patience, and composure. Their roles span various administrative, technical, or leadership functions, contributing significantly to the efficient delivery of public services and the stability of the district.
Dr. Reinhard Lahr, who works in monument protection and at the Roentgen Museum, was among the honourees. Silke Läufer-Hermann, who works in press and public relations, and Helena Hasbach, a clerk for the environment, nature, and energy, were also recognised for their service.
Lena Seifert, a school secretary at the Realschule plus Puderbach, and Angela Thomas, who works in school book lending, were also honoured for their dedication. Rainer Müller, a caretaker at the Werner-Heisenberg school, and Nadja Meffert, who works in youth welfare, were also part of the distinguished group.
The concept of loyalty is highlighted as a value in the Neuwied district administration, despite versatility being a common trend. The long-serving colleagues are considered beacons for others due to their wealth of experience. District Administrator Hallerbach praised their exemplary role during their careers and congratulated them on their service anniversaries, specifically the 40-year and 25-year anniversaries.
Florian Nußbaum, Personnel Director, explained that Christa Nilges and Ralf Volkert are among the ten colleagues being honoured. Elke Dudda, a school secretary at the Kinzingschule, was also recognised for her service.
The honourees were presented with the county's certificate of appreciation, marking a well-deserved recognition of their dedication and service to the Neuwied district. Their continued service is a testament to the value of loyalty and experience in the district administration, and they serve as an inspiration to their colleagues and the wider community.
The long-serving colleagues' dedication transcends their roles in family-dynamics, as they also contribute significantly to the lifestyles of the residents through their work in home-and-garden, relationships, and education. Their commitment to the Neuwied district administration over decades has positively influence the dynamics of the district, setting excellent examples for newcomers in their respective fields within the district.
