Robin Boone is the Manatee County Tax Collector’s Employee of the Quarter (Published 10-12-2016)
Robin Boone was selected as the Manatee County Tax Collector's Employee for the 4th quarter. A 19-year veteran of the office, she serves in the Customer Solutions and Associate Development Department (CSAD) department as manager of the Lakewood Ranch office."Back in 1997, Robin came to us from the old State Division of Driver Licenses," said Tax Collector Ken Burton Jr. "At the time, our office was not issuing licenses, and she helped us get our processes in place to hit the ground running. We found, however, that not only did she bring driver license experience, she brought her friendly and engaging personality that our customers appreciate and her peers enjoy."
"Recently at a new-employee breakfast, the staff was asked who helped them the most," said Tony Conboy, CSAD director. "Several spoke right up and said that Robin's encouragement and patience in helping them was significant in their growth. This is a great example of her management style and how she cares for her staff."
"When we assumed the duties for specialized driver licenses in 2011, we needed someone to take over the DeSoto counter responsibilities, which tripled in size with the new staff we had to hire and train," said Ronda French, CSAD assistant director. "It was a huge responsibility, and Robin took this on without complaint. She was my right hand when I was a manager, and she gives 100 percent to any challenge given her."
Robin is reflective of the tax collector office's core values: customer focus, future focus, excellence and accountability, integrity and respect, innovation, teamwork, and community and social responsibility. Her name is engraved on the Employee of the Quarter trophy; she receives a certificate, a reserved parking space, a unileave day, names a themed casual day, and receives a free pizza from Demetrio's Pizza House, Cortez Road.
