October, 1999
Meet Tonia H.
by Tammi Osburn

Tonia is a level II Operator in our Thermoforming Department and has been an Indepak employee since February of 1997.  Her duties as a Machine Operator include operating the thermoforming machinery, packaging parts, quality assurance and many other responsibilities.  Tonia started working for us as a temporary employee helping out on a special project.  She was soon hired as a regular.   She has proved to be a versatile employee:  "wherever they tell me to go....  I'm versatile!"  Tonia has helped out in our Custom Packaging Department, our Dental Fluoride Tray Department as well as helping Customer Service with inventory.  She is also an active member of Indepak's Safety Committee.  Tonia enjoys her job at Indepak and she "likes the people - the people make the job."

Tonia is a "true Oregonian," born and raised here and has been married for 19 years.  She was recently given her first grandchild by one of her 2 children.   In her free time, she enjoys many outdoor activities including riding A.T.V.'s, water skiing, and knee boarding.  Tonia and her husband recently purchase an RV that, when they are not travelling in, they are busy redecorating.  She also has a pet Short Jack Russell that she loves.

Co-worker comments:
"Tonia has a positive attitude about what she does at Indepak, follows the Indepak Vision Statement and is always willing to help out employees and the temps that come in."

We congratulate Tonia for being picked as our featured employee for October and we thank you for being a valuable employee to the Indepak Team.
