This year, the Pee Dee District created their own Awards to honor the hard work of those in their district. They created three different awards, put out a call for nominations, and then awarded them at their yearly District Staff Retreat. The awards were developed by a committee made up of one representative from each county in the Pee Dee District and chaired by Ryan Bean. The awards created included Most Innovative Program, Most Successful Program, and Above & Beyond Administrative Assistant. Several nominations were received for each award. A group of five members from the committee was selected to judge the awards based on relevance to the award descriptions as follows:
Most Innovative Program – Regardless of the success, this program must demonstrate new methods to engage clientele during the 2020 calendar year. In Extension, we know every program doesn’t sell out, or leave us with the most exciting evaluation data, but through active innovation, we continue to strive to positively impact the lives/businesses of our clientele.
Most Successful Program – Use impact data to demonstrate the success of a program held during the 2020 calendar year. Success could be based on many different factors including attendance, evaluation data, revenue generation, etc.
Above & Beyond Administrative Assistant – This admin has successfully fulfilled their day to day job duties and gone a step further during the 2020 calendar year.
Please join us in congratulating this year’s Pee Dee District winners:
Christy Beasley – Most Innovative Program
Pee Dee District 4-H Agents (Elizabeth Snipes, Freddricka Pressley, Terri Sumpter, Kyla Szemplinski, Cindy Welsh, Faith Truesdale, honorary 4-H agent: Amber Starnes) – Most Successful Program

Congratulations to our winners and keep up the great work in the Pee Dee District!
