George Malveaux
HPD

He tirelessly leads his team as they locate, scan and count assets. When most other employees have left for the day, Mr. Malveaux returns to his office and processes the information.

In 2002, HPD’s missing assets of land, buildings and equipment was less than 1 percent of the department’s total inventory. George Malveaux is a big reason for that.

As a systems accountant I, Mr. Malveaux is an asset sleuth. Telling him a piece of equipment is in HPD’s inventory is not enough. He doesn’t tally the item until he’s found it.

Because the department’s inventory is scattered among 141 locations and more than 400 rooms, the department’s annual asset testing is a nine-month process requiring physical effort, dedication, and patience. Mr. Malveaux possesses all those traits.

He tirelessly leads his team as they locate, scan and count assets. When most other employees have left for the day, Mr. Malveaux returns to his office and processes the information.

He also helps his coworkers. For the budget office, he hunted down serial numbers and details of items lost to flooding for insurance claims. Mr. Malveaux declined a chance at a promotion because he believed a co-worker was more deserving. He’s a model for other employees to emulate, according to HPD, which named him Police Week Civilian Employee of the Year in 2003.

But Mr. Malveaux doesn’t leave his leadership at the office. In his free time, he guides others spiritually. He has worked as a counselor at Southwest Community Baptist Church and recently graduated from seminary school. He also serves as an assistant pastor at New Testament Christian Center and coordinated the church’s prison ministry.

Because of his dedication to his job and to those around him – we proudly present George Malveaux with the Bravo Award.
