"Luis has worked in the California ICJ office for seven years and regularly goes, “above and beyond the call of duty,” in his daily tasks. His duties have included being responsible for processing transfer of supervision cases, travel permits, as well as helping to facilitate runaway and absconder returns. Additionally, Luis has been asked to assist with training multiple new compact office staff. Luis proactively tracks report and response due dates and sends reminders to field staff to help ensure California’s compliance with timeframes. He has developed positive working relationships with probation and child welfare staff across the state and is always available to assist field staff with ICJ related matters. Luis’ work with field staff, other compact office staff, and the families of juvenile runaways often receives recognition. During the transition of the California ICJ office over the last few years, Luis was relied upon even more to maintain the daily operations of the office and did so without complaint, he just got the work done. Luis is a valued member of the California ICJ team and we could not do our jobs without his dedicated service to our State.”
