The California Joint Powers Insurance Authority (California JPIA) congratulates Administrative Analyst Lyndsie Buskirk on her 10th anniversary with the Authority.
Buskirk joined the Authority as a part-time employee in 2014 and expanded her responsibilities as a full-time office assistant in 2015. She earned a promotion to administrative assistant in December 2019, followed by her current role as administrative analyst in 2022.
“Reaching this 10-year milestone with the California JPIA is both humbling and meaningful. I’m grateful for the journey, the growth, and everything our staff has accomplished together,” said Buskirk. “We’re here to help our members, and I find that very rewarding knowing that we’re making a positive impact.”
During her tenure at the Authority, Buskirk’s role has evolved from traditional administrative support to ensuring the accuracy and availability of member Memoranda of Coverage (MOC) documents each fiscal year to managing Authority sponsorships and conference logistics.
She has further grown within the organization by becoming a key member of the communications team. In her role, she continues to work on member MOCs and conferences. She also enhances the Authority’s member communications by designing and drafting emails, editing newsletter articles, creating short-form videos and social media graphics, and writing content.
“We’re lucky to have Lyndsie on the communications team. She’s always learning new programs and software and brings a wonderful creativity to the table,” said California JPIA Communications Director Olga Berdial. “That, combined with her attention to detail, ensures that her projects are well thought out, inventive, and accurate.”
“What I love most about my job is finding creative ways to inform and engage with our members and business partners. Whether designing graphics, creating videos, or crafting messages, I like producing content that’s easy to understand and connect with. I’m proud of what the communications team has accomplished, and I’m even more excited about what’s ahead,” said Buskirk. “Outside the office, I enjoy interacting with members and colleagues at conferences and events. I value the relationships I’ve built over the past decade.”
Berdial notes that while Buskirk is methodical and approaches her work seriously, she can also lend an air of lightheartedness to meetings. “Lyndsie brings a sense of humor to work, making projects not only better but also more enjoyable,” said Berdial. “I’m proud to be on her team and celebrate this milestone alongside her.”
