A state employee for nearly seven years, Downs’ duties include managing and creating content for PEIA’s social media platforms, managing the PEIA website, and creating and sending policyholder emails and print communications.
“Amanda is meticulous in her work and has the ability to review massive documents for errors. Due to the changing nature of our agency, communication to members is never-ending,” said the co-worker who nominated her. “She juggles her duties while assisting others with necessary communications. Amanda is the one who has her finger on the pulse of everything each department is working on. She creates interesting posts daily for our Facebook page to highlight changes, new programs, and helpful information for our members.”
When she’s not working, Downs likes baking and trying out new recipes. She also enjoys reading, listening to music, and spending time with family and friends. Downs will be joined by friends and coworkers at a special ceremony presented by Cabinet Secretary Mark D. Scott on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, at 3 p.m.
