Happy Anniversary!
Happy anniversary to our Service Oklahoma and OMES teammates who celebrated milestone anniversaries in August.
Michael Hays, Business Support Specialist at OKC - HQ Building 4
30 Years of Service
"The most rewarding aspect of working for Service Oklahoma is working with Business Support Services who really care and work hard to serve Oklahomans. The best part about my job is knowing that I am an important part of Service Oklahoma and that I assist citizens in keeping their independence by issuing placards."
Ann Hamaker, Service Center Supervisor at Woodward
25 Years of Service
"One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is watching a teen go from a learner permit to an intermediate license and the huge smile that normally accompanies this step in their life."
Rachel Schultz, IIRS Specialist at Broken Arrow
15 Years of Service
"I am most proud of my growth with Service Oklahoma. I've gone from Driver License Examiner to a Compliance Officer to now working on the IIRS team. I feel I have learned more with each new position. The most rewarding aspect of working for Service Oklahoma is being able to help people and knowing that when a customer leaves, they are satisfied."
