Tressler’s complex work involves the coordination of all CML departments and external stakeholders like architects，engineers，construction managers，and designers.She is passionate about delivering projects that suit the needs of the community，always working to find new ways to build community dialogue for each project.As an example，for a recent building project，Tressler partnered with the city’s parks and recreation department to host a community lunch.This event brought together the architects and members of the neighborhood and was a successful way to get feedback on the design of the building.Tressler centers her work around both the customer and employee experience–prioritizing the input of all building users.Her tireless leadership has resulted in amazing buildings around Columbus that meet the unique needs of each neighborhood.

Tressler has worked extensively with many organizations and groups sharing her time，talents，and expertise including OLC，NEO-RLS，Kent State，Syracuse University，and Library Journal.The American Library Association recently reorganized its divisions and combined Leadership，Infrastructure，and Futures into a new division called“Core.”Tressler was elected by her national peers to be President of Core–further evidence that her professionalism is both far-reaching and validated by Core members.

For these reasons and more，Wendy Tressler is the recipient of this year’s Service Excellence Award.”

Core members and staff alike are honored to be led by such an accomplished，hard-working，and thoughtful leader in our field.Congratulations，Wendy，and we can’t wait to see all the amazing work you continue to do!
