The Public Policy and Management Center (PPMC) collaborates with public and private sector organizations to conduct research, evaluations, training, and community development. Their work is well-known and highly regarded in government and non-profit circles. The PPMC team recently gathered to deepen their understanding of internal controls and earn recognition as Internal Control All-Stars.

Operations Manager Sarah Shaffer received recognition as an Internal Control All-Star early in the program and encouraged Financial Specialist Christian Holley to pursue the same. 

Inspired by their experience with the program, Sarah then encouraged the entire PPMC team to earn all-star recognition. Recently, the group came together and accomplished this goal.

Those earning recognition, from left to right, were:

• Claire Goenner, Community Program Coordinator
• Nigel Soria, Research Economist & Data Scientist
• Brad Richards, Community Program Coordinator
• Misty Bruckner, Director of PPMC
• Sarah Gooding, Community Program Specialist
• Isabel Ebersole, Research Project Manager
• Briaja Tucker, Communications Coordinator
• Jamie Fuller, Research Program Manager
• Laura Baxter, Program Specialist
• Sarah Shaffer, Operations Manager
• Christian Holley, Financial Specialist

It was a pleasure to meet and spend time with Public Policy and Management Center team.
