Congratulations to Carolyn Harden, Michigan Veterans Trust Fund (MVTF) manager, for being selected as Employee of the Quarter!

Carolyn continually shows exceptional dedication and leadership in her position, but she went especially above and beyond during a period of significant operational need. While the MVTF experienced a temporary loss of a team member, Carolyn stepped up and took on the responsibilities of the vacant role in addition to maintaining her own workload and supervisory duties. Her ability to adapt and excel with these additional demands on her time and energy ensured continuity of service and upheld the high standards the MVTF is known for.
