Each month, the Wisconsin Court System takes time to recognize employees who have reached significant milestones in their state service. These anniversaries are noted in five-year increments, beginning at 15 years of service.

This month, we highlight colleagues marking these milestones and extend our gratitude for their commitment to the courts and the people they serve. Your dedication strengthens our work and makes a lasting impact across the state.
