FORT STEWART, Ga. - For their mission-ready attitude, execution of effective teamwork and quality customer service skills, Fort Stewart’s Network Enterprise Center’s continued dedication and hard work shined under the spotlight, July 6. The Network Enterprise Center’s team gathered at Cottrell Field to receive the NEC of the Year award.
Colonel Todd Isaacson, commander of 93rd Signal Brigade, visited the home of the Third Infantry Division to recognize NEC for their contributions to the Fort Stewart community.
“With that honor, we bestow upon you (NEC) and your leadership to be recognized as the Network Enterprise Center of the Year for the 93rd Signal Brigade for the large category,” Col. Isaacson said.
With approximately 40 other competing NECs categorized in three areas " small, medium and large " Fort Stewart received tribute for the large category.
“We have a really good organization,” said Joel Daniels, Network Enterprise Center’s chief of Business and Plans Division. “We have a lot of great employees here. We’re all working as hard as we can to support the installation.”
While NEC’s team continues to ensure communication connectivity such as functioning telephone systems, computers and intercoms, they work as a team to complete the mission despite challenges.
“We’re still here doing the best we can,” said Daniels. “We have personnel constraints. We don’t have all the people we need; we don’t have the money that we need, but we’re still here working with Network Enterprise, working with the Army Network Command to support Fort Stewart.”
While the NEC team received recognition at the award ceremony, Col. Isaacson extended appreciation to Joyce NeeSmith, Fort Stewart’s NEC director.
“I just want to say how proud we are of Joyce and her team,” he said. “She and her entire team are an institution here on post. She takes her job very seriously, and she wants to enable the customers here on post and the entire community. All these folks who work in the NEC are members in the community. So, this is members of the community working for each other. They are well led by Joyce, and we just appreciate what great work she does.”
Following the award ceremony, Col. Isaacson shared his thoughts with how the ceremony correlated with the Third Infantry Division’s commanding general Maj. Gen. Robert “Abe” Abrams’ command philosophy.
“It nests very nicely with the commanding general’s philosophy of “one team”,” he said. “It’s one team that is working together to deliver services. Joyce and her team are in the service-delivery business, and it is to enable customers on post to do their job. Her and her entire team really understands that; they have a customer-facing organization and because of that, it nests very nicely with the way [Maj. Gen. Abrams] has taken the division.”
