Members Honored for Money Saving Project

Congratulations to WPEA members from the Liquor Control Board, Julie Norton (left) and Laura Plonski with Secretary of State Sam Reed, who were recently honored by the Productivity Board with the Teamwork Incentive Program (TIP) Award.

The Project they implemented eliminated the nightly mailing of “Product Approval Reports” to each liquor licensee by providing a convenient way to access reports online. Due to the implementation of a law in 2005 paper copies were no longer required. Before the law, each time a product/label was approved or revised, a Product Approval Report was generated and mailed to the licensee.

“The two worked very hard over the past year and it was a great pleasure working with them,” said Shannon Reuell, LCB’s Productivity Board Coordinator. “They did a great job!”

As well as saving time and money by eliminating unnecessary mailings, this Project also contributes to the State’s sustainability program by utilizing the Internet and eliminating the use of paper.
