Celebrating years of state service

WI flag

This month marks the launch of a new monthly feature recognizing Wisconsin Court System employees who have reached significant state service milestones. Each month going forward, we’ll highlight employees celebrating anniversaries in five-year increments, beginning at 15 years of service. Because this is the first installment, we’re proud to recognize all employees who have celebrated service anniversaries with the State of Wisconsin from January 2025 through this month.

Thank you for your dedication and commitment to public service—you make a difference every day.
