Professional
Staff Award for Excellence
In her six years with the Department of Human and Community Development, Julie Fesenmaier has consistently and persistently put forward a vision of how new electronic information and communication technology can be used to help rural citizens develop themselves and their communities. Fesenmaier was among the first to recognize that these new technologies would transform the traditional flow of information in every sector of the economy. Fesenmaier is a prolific grant writer and has been successful in producing over $487,000 for the development of technological tools that have had a significant impact on communications technology, creating windows of opportunity for the citizens of Illinois, especially rural citizens. Although technologically sophisticated, Fesenmaier is far from narrow in her expertise. Her knowledge base encompasses community development, tourism, leadership, and program evaluation. Her interpersonal skills emphasize collaboration and cooperation. The combination of content expertise and process sophistication is dynamic. The partnerships that Fesenmaier has built continue to give the department and the College of ACES impressive visibility in Illinois, nationally, and internationally. |
