HIGHLY HONORED

MID-CAROLINAS HR SPECIALIST WINS ‘EMPLOYEE OF THE YEAR’ AWARD



Mid-Carolinas District HR Specialist Gary “Tommy” Miller.



Charlotte, NC, Human Resources Specialist Gary “Tommy” Miller has been named one of Careers & the disABLED magazine’s “Employees of the Year.” The award was for Miller’s professional and advocacy efforts on behalf of people with disabilities.



Careers & the disABLED bills itself as the nation’s first and only career-guidance and recruitment magazine for people with disabilities.



Miller, a paraplegic, was injured while playing football during his senior year in high school. The injury left him paralyzed from the mid-chest down, with limited use of his arms and hands.



In 1982, Miller began his career with USPS as a clerk typist in Human Resources. He later became an accounting technician in Finance.



“Tommy is a kind and hard-working employee,” said Mid-Carolinas Safety Manager Stephanie Harris. “He never complains and always finds a way to accomplish any task assigned to him. He’s physically tough and has great endurance, and he treats everyone with dignity and respect.”



Miller has received other recognitions throughout his life. The Mayor of Rock Hill, SC, proclaimed Oct. 18, 1985, “Tommy Miller Day.” And each year, the “Tommy Miller Award” is given at Rock Hill’s Northwestern High School to outstanding male and female athletes of the year.



He also is a recipient of the Distinguished Service Citation from the Postmaster General in recognition of notable performance and in appreciation for his exceptional contribution to the Postal Service.
