ISLAND TRANSIT RECOGNIZES 2012 SPIRIT AWARD WINNER
Coupeville, Washington, July 30, 2012: Island Transit is proud and honored
to present Gary Manker, Operations Supervisor, as our Island Transit Spirit
Award recipient for 2012 Gary Manker was hired on March 6, 2006 as a transit
operator and from the get go, we knew that we had hired a truly unique and
gifted individual. He became a Service Coordinator in early 2008 and was hired
as a Supervisor less than two years later. Gary is a “what did we ever do
without him” kind of individual! Anyone who meets Gary immediately falls
prey to his incredibly unique sense of humor. We hear large bursts of laughter
booming and we know it’s because Gary has undoubtedly shared his typically
“twisted” views. His uniqueness only touches the tip of the iceberg with his
sense of humor! He truly has unparalleled ability to coach people to see things
from different perspectives. His considerate and respectful style creates an
appreciation for the differences of others. Gary clearly understands that
appreciation and respect for one another builds the drive and commitment
to be an effective and successful member of the team. Gary, thank you for
your loyalty, insightfulness and for countless and invaluable contributions
you’ve made to our organization. It is with great pride and joy that we
recognize Gary Manker with our 2012 Spirit of Island Transit Award.
