TAGS: AOMS APER JM
SUBJECT: KINGSTON NOMINATES ROBIN GOERTZ FOR OFFICE
MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST (OMS) CONFERENCE OCTOBER 3-7, 2005.

REF: SECSTATE 132382


1. Post is pleased to nominate OMS Robin W. Goertz (FP-6)
to attend the Department's Worldwide Office Management
Specialist Conference to be held October 3-7, 2005 in
Washington (Reftel). A second-tour OMS, Ms. Goertz works in
the Political/Economic Section and ably supports the Front
Office as necessary.


2. Ms. Goertz, a consummate professional, is a skilled and
committed OMS whose initiative, creative problem solving and
team spirit have markedly improved office efficiency. She
goes out of her way to support the Mission at large, whether
during preparations for hurricanes or through her active
involvement in community activities. She keenly follows OMS
issues and shares pertinent information from the OMS website
and ListServe with colleagues at Post. Ms. Goertz possesses
a good grasp of U.S. policy priorities in Jamaica, which
reinforces her effectiveness and increases her value to the
Pol/Econ Section. If selected, Ms. Goertz would bring
innovative, field-tested ideas to the Conference, and Post is
certain that her considerable communication- and
interpersonal skills would make her a valuable contributor to
discussions at the conference as well.


3. In sum, Robin Goertz is an unfailingly positive and
genuinely accomplished employee, and her attendance at the
OMS conference would benefit her professionally, while also
contributing to the conference. Post would also benefit, as
Ms. Goertz would share her experiences with colleagues upon
her return to Post.


4. Post notes that a check of our records indicates that
Embassy Kingston has never had an employee selected to attend
the OMS conference. Ms. Goertz would be an excellent first.
