Chris McFarlane

Advancement

Throughout the entire year, I am always grateful that Chris is a part of our team, but when it comes time for big staff events (BBQ, Breakfast) I know we are blessed.

He goes above and beyond to make sure the technical aspects of these events are planned and executed with professionalism. Chris is best known for insisting on double- and triple-backups for every piece of multimedia presented at these events – and it pays off!

Most recently, Chris stayed very late after the BBQ to help troubleshoot with the videojournalist who shot the Flash Mob video. It was a particularly hard case to crack , but after several failed attempts to get the audio back into the full video file we were able to post it to YouTube. Chris was the triple backup on this one.

Without Chris’ expertise, the videojournalist would have not been able to complete the video, and we would have missed out on the GREAT video that was captured from that event.

Chris is much deserving of this award.
