January Staff of the Month Goes to Moench

Published: January 16, 2015

College of Western Idaho (CWI) is pleased to announce CWI’s January Staff of the Month honor has been awarded to Brenda Moench.

Moench joined CWI in June 2009. She is an administrative assistant II for Professional Technical Education’s Business and Information Technology Department. Moench is also one of two building leads for the Ada County Campus Pintail Center. Prior to CWI, she spent over 15 years in administrative support with web site maintenance and basic AP responsibilities. 

Moench is currently a member of the Safety Measurement Committee. She has also taken minutes for the Safety Committee and Curriculum Committee and helped out as an Interim Building Administrator for the Pintail Center.

“Serving all in an Atmosphere of Caring” is a CWI Core Value that most certainly describes Moench’s great work ethic and it shows in her positive attitude which never seems to wane. She says “almost every day at CWI I’ve witnessed colleagues overcome potential obstacles to doing what they feel is right or needed. If I’ve been able to help through encouragement or just lending a hand, that’s pretty awesome.”

Moench earned a Bachelor of Applied Science degree with a focus in Technical Communication and Mediation.

Her family life includes her husband, mother, multiple brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, and the ultimate blessings of grandnieces and grandnephews. She says her family has multiple cats, a dog, and various indoor and outdoor fish. She and her husband enjoy riding their ATVs, camping, and mountain drives---long and short---with family and friends. Moench says she also enjoys reading and coming up with new projects to keep the hubby busy while entertaining their cats.

Please join in congratulating Brenda. Thank you for your commitment and continued dedication to CWI and its faculty, staff, and students.
