Today we share an incredible celebration of a teammate who has spent the last 45 years dedicating her time and talent to the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. And a lot has changed in the world during those 45 years! 

Karen Michaelson, HR specialist manager/business partner II, began her NDCS career in 1978, when she joined the agency as a steno clerk at the Nebraska State Penitentiary (NSP). At NSP, she was promoted to typist II, secretary I and secretary II. In 1999, she came to Central Office as a personnel assistant and then promoted to personnel officer and personnel manager before assuming her current role last year. 

Karen is a compassionate leader who has made a difference in the lives of countless teammates over the past 45 years. 

If you’ve had the pleasure to work with Karen, give her a shoutout on this tremendous accomplishment! #NDCSEvents #Celebrating45Years
