A true office superhero, Jason Vander Veen was named June’s You-Make-the-Difference winner for always doing his best to keep things running smoothly.

Officially, he’s Tech Support Supervisor and Service Delivery Coordinator. Unofficially, he says his job description was a blank page with a line for a signature.

Jason helps to maintain sanity around the office by doing everything from resolving customer issues to helping with the more difficult technical problems. Currently, he’s helping businesses get set up with our Hosted PBX service.

Every month, Socket’s employees nominate a co-worker for the You-Make-The-Difference award. Jeff Smith, was chosen as the YMTD Winner in May.

“Jeff is always available to deal with anything thrown his way,” said a nominating co-worker. “He deals with the problem quickly, accurately and always with a smile.”

Jeff has been working at Socket for two years. As accounting manager, some of his duties include leading general ledger activities, preparing various financial reports and statements, and performing necessary analysis of company financials, including special projects and internal audits.

Deborah McDuffie was recently selected as Socket's You-Make-the-Difference-Award winner for April.

This is Deborah's THIRD time winning the YMTD award. She also set a record (we're pretty sure) with 11 nominations in a single month. Needless to say, a lot of people around here think she does a great job.

"Deb is an exceptional employee," said one of those 11 co-workers who nominated her for the award. "Her amazing attention to detail makes installations go so much better than they would without her oversight. She's always happy to assist customers and her fellow Socketeers."
