|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
recognize Randy Hartford, who is retiring as manager of Public |
|
Affairs for Atmos Energy on June 1, 2021, after 40 years of |
|
distinguished service; and |
|
WHEREAS, Hired in 1981, Randy Hartford began his career |
|
with Atmos Energy as a meter reader in his hometown of Denison, |
|
when the company was known as Texas Power and Light; he went on to |
|
serve the company as a billing clerk in Mineral Wells before |
|
transferring to Irving, where he served for 14 years and |
|
distinguished himself for excellence in customer care at the call |
|
center; he was promoted to the position of employee trainer, and |
|
in this role, he developed the center's first call recording and |
|
quality assurance evaluation process; and |
|
WHEREAS, Randy later transferred to the Waco call center, |
|
where he continued to train new hires and also served as a team |
|
supervisor; while there, he was promoted to the position of human |
|
resource generalist, and he had an integral role in Project |
|
Champion; in addition, he played a major role in combining the |
|
TXU and Lone Star Gas call centers; and |
|
WHEREAS, After Atmos Energy took over the gas production |
|
side of the energy company, Mr. Hartford relocated to |
|
Georgetown, where he began his current tenure as manager of |
|
Public Affairs; while serving in the role of manager, he has also |
|
served on several boards of directors and has generously |
|
volunteered his time to a number of civic and charitable |
|
organizations; and |
|
WHEREAS, Wherever he has served, Randy Hartford has |
|
handled his responsibilities with exceptional skill and |
|
dedication; he is respected and admired by his colleagues, and |
|
his leadership at Atmos Energy will be greatly missed; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th |
|
