As part of MNIT Week, Minnesota IT Services honored employees at the Length of Service celebration, an event celebrating employee significant commitment to state service.

During the celebration, and to the surprise of those in attendance, Governor Mark Dayton stopped by to give a special thank you to staff for their significant and continued dedication to our state, and to all Minnesotans. Governor Dayton also gave special recognition to Commissioner Baden, who is celebrating his 35th anniversary this year.

During the Length of Service celebration, Minnesota IT Services honored more than 300 employees who have served the state between 10 and 40 years. In total, this year’s honorees have served more than 5,700 years!
