Tom Taylor received the IT employee recognition award for May 2006.  Quoting from Tom's nomination and additional comments:

According to Shearson Lehman and American Express -

“Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions, and the actions, which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, day after day after day year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of; the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism."
