knowledgeable.

Overall Manager Comments:Jilt has a great understanding of her role and contribution to the success of our department. She places a great dealof pressure on herself and at times seems to feel that this diminishes anyone else's confidence in her ability. Herwork on the inner schedule of the department comes without accolades but she continues to meet the expectationsplaced upon her, Jill took the initiative to learn the nbatv boc operations so that she can continue to support the bocswhen her schedule allows. She is an energetic and committed member of our team.

I look forward to working with Jill in the upcoming year and being a key ingredient to our continued success.

Development Plan - Employee:

Development Plan - Manager:Jill brings a great attitude and work ethic to our department. She is always eager to take on additionalresponsibilities. Jill has a terrific relationship with the entire LEG team and our clients and partners.

She continues to hone her skills within the BOCs working in WTBS BOC and NBATV BOC. For the upcoming year, Iwould like Jill to partner with Dennis to work on her skills to be able to support the TNT BOC and TBS BOCs.

For Jill's continued growth in the LEG Scheduling, I will work with her in soliciting support from the other members ofthe team to double check all the events are covered. I will also work with her to learn SchedulAII that will allow us toenter this information once and provide the necessary reporting to Sr Mgmt.

For the upcoming year, I would like Jill to better understand the big picture of our participation in the success of bothLive Events and operations of the BOCs. That open discussion does not necessarily question the confidence I have inher but more to question our practices and policies.

STRENGTHS, AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT AND FUTURE OBJECTIVES:"Jill once again has been a tremendous force in the EGO department. Of all themany great people that make up Technical Operations, Jill stands out as a leaderinside the control room and out.

Jill is fully knowledgeable of our graphics setup, both operationally and from thesoftware/hardware side. She takes the initiative to work with engineers, artists,software vendors to solve problems on her own. I rely on Jill to look out forothers in the EGO department, letting me know when a problem (or potentialproblem) has arisen. It is a great relief to have Jill here on the weekends wherewe often find our busiest time. I do not worry about the graphics load when Jillis involved; she has the maturity, experience and total Infinit knowledge to makethe best of any bad situation.

As we move forward in our graphic technology that will include new scoreboards,moving boxes and greater computer interface, I will rely more and more on Jill'shelp. As the senior operator in the EGO department, Jill's guidance is necessaryif we are to achieve a successful new graphic look. I want and need to give Jillfull support in the next year as we work together to move to the next graphiclevel.

Overall, Jill's work at CNN/SI cannot be understated. I hope that Jill continues tofind the satisfaction necessary to keep up the most excellent job performance."
