Shay Brooks and Pam Polsky were recently named the 2021 Supervisor of the Year and Employee of the Year, respectively, by the Richardson Rotary Club. The awards, given by the Club since 1992, are specially designed to recognize City employees who made significant contributions during the past year.

Brooks has been with the City since 2014, first in the position of teen librarian for the Library while also serving as a graphic designer in the Community Services department. She has supervised the Library’s Youth Services Department since 2017, leading a team of four full-time and five part-time librarians.

Polsky joined the City in 2013, first as a part-time assistant house manager for the Eisemann Center. In less than two years, her passion for doing events and connecting with people earned her a promotion to full-time assistant house manager and in October of this year, she was promoted to the full-time house manager position.
