Director's Letter: 2014 Resolution: Improved Customer Service
Like
everyone else, I like to make New Year’s resolutions. There is no better
time to take stock of your life and set new goals for yourself.
I do the same with our organization. While we are constantly looking at
ways to improve how we serve the public, the annual turning of the
calendar is a great time to publicize our plans for organizational
improvement.
This year, the number one goal at JFS will be to improve the customer
experience.
