SPOTLIGHT EMPLOYEE PROFILE
Lisa Dove:
Dedicated and Dependable
L
egal Secretary Lisa Dove is no stranger to juggling multiple responsibilities. When she started working at the Florida League of Cities 10 years ago, she began in a split position with the Legislative Affairs and Legal
Departments. Today, Lisa works solely in the Legal Department supporting the Tallahassee and Orlando FLC offices with special projects. She performs a variety of tasks each day from keeping the Law Library publications up to date to assisting members of the Florida Municipal Attorneys Association with membership requests and more. Organization is a necessity in this position, a trait that Lisa embodies through her work. Her supervisor, General Counsel Kraig Conn, said, “Lisa is the most organized person I know. She has a checklist or file for every imaginable job I may ask her to do, which means it’s always done efficiently and correctly.” Lisa’s co-workers echo this trait and emphasize her thoroughness and attention to detail. When Lisa was in her split position, she worked closely with Allison Payne, Manager of Advocacy Programs and Federal Affairs. “We worked on projects that required accuracy. The multiple schedules of congressional meetings for the FLC FAST Fly-In to D.C. and the League resolutions are just a few examples where Lisa was fastidious in making sure everything was just so.” Tara McMillan, Assistant in the Special Investigations Unit, describes Lisa as consistently kind, patient, considerate and caring. “Lisa is dependable and loyal. She does things ‘by the book’ with an impeccable work ethic.” Tara, who was Lisa’s “cube mate” for nearly six years, reminisced about the many conversations they had on books they’d read and ways to keep squirrels from eating their plants. Outside of the office, Lisa loves to spend her time outdoors where she can enjoy the sounds of nature away from phone calls, texts and emails. Lisa and her husband of 21 years, Jep, live on a lake and fish every chance they get. She also likes to hunt, read and work in her yard. One word that describes Lisa is dedicated: to her job, beliefs, family, husband, friends, co-workers and responsibilities. It’s in her DNA. “I truly enjoy coming to work every day,” said Lisa. “I never knew I could have so much fun and get paid for it!” QC
