    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Sandy Bunce, Accounting Technician III, was IPI’s nomination for the 2018 NCIA Staff Award and was placed on the 2018 NCIA Honor Roll.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The NCIA Staff Award recognizes the superior performance of a correctional industries staff member who has made a significant and sustained contribution to a correctional industries program.Each state is only allowed to submit one nominee for this award. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sandy was nominated based on the accumulation of her achievements over her 40 years of service. During her career, she has filled many support roles within IPI and has excelled in each of these roles. Sandy has seen many changes in rules, processes, and technology, and she has always approached each challenge with a positive attitude and willingness to learn new skills. Sand is incredibly reliable, generous with her time, works hard every day, and gets along well with everyone she works with. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you Sandy, for all that you have done for IPI during your career!&lt;/p&gt;
