Barbara Montoya of the State Purchasing Division has been recognized as Employee of the Quarter, according to an announcement from the New Mexico General Services Department. Montoya was honored for her outstanding customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail.
Montoya contributed to a 29% revenue increase and helped strengthen vendor relationships. She resolved critical issues such as unreported fees and expired contracts, streamlined reporting by providing clearer instructions to vendors, and improved accuracy through diligent reconciliation of quarterly revenue spreadsheets.

Notably, Montoya collected over $1.8 million in fees in a single quarter—the highest amount recorded in State Purchasing Division history—which reflects her dedication to her work.
