2008 Support Professional of the Year
Lillie Ford
Administrative Center
A former temporary employee, Lillie Ford has found a permanent home in the Fulton County School System’s Human Resources Division. She originally was hired to do short-term clerical work but as leaders noticed her positive attitude, customer service skills and attention to detail, she was soon promoted to a full-time position. As an employment application processing specialist, Ford is the primary contact for all job postings and the school system’s online applicant tracking system. This places her in the forefront of the district’s efforts to source and eventually select the best employees.
