Staggs was the November 2021 Employee of the Month as the representative of Prompt Response, one of the five PRIDE (Personal Responsibility in Delivering Excellence) standards, WRMC said in a news release announcing Staggs’ selection.

Staggs was chosen by WRMC employees through an anonymous voting process.
