The following messages were sent via the Agency’s Tech Coordinator listserv.

I wanted to say thanks to Tuan Dao (Network Administrator/JO), Lance Wilhelm (Director of Technology/JO), Denise Krefting (Instructional Technology Consultant/AD) and everyone at the AEA regarding technology this year. Thanks for the stable, reliable systems this year and all of your guidance. Well done!

I concur, Cory. Nevada could not function without the AEA Tech Team.

I agree with you both. It was a wonderful year, and it is good to know that I have the expertise of the AEA team just a phone call away.
