LOS ANGELES — Her journey to civil service retirement began in 1988 with a few months at the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce then the next 23 years with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Los Angeles District.
A journey made all the more remarkable by the fact that she had just immigrated to the U.S. in 1977 from India.
“Sticks tied together with one rope are stronger than any one alone,” said Joy Jaiswal. "It is not an organization, but a family with one common goal. That is why we are successful here."
Listening to her co-workers and team members talk about Joy during her retirement ceremony Sept. 29, the District motto “Building Strong and Taking Care of People” was something she took very seriously.
While an environmental manager Joy was assigned to high profile projects like Murrieta Creek, which improved flood control and storm water retention, enhanced water conservation and supply and provided recreation-related opportunities along the Santa Margarita River and its tributaries in Riverside and San Diego counties. She excelled in technical analysis and became expert in the development of National Environmental Policy Act documents. She has served as the Chief, Ecosystem Planning Section since December 2001.
“During your tenure here, you have given generously of your talents and strengths," said District Commander Col. Mark Toy in his Commander’s Letter. "We have appreciated your loyalty and willingness to work above and beyond the call of duty. May you retire knowing that you have touched the lives of your colleagues in immeasurable ways.”
With a husband of 46 years, three adult daughters and five grandchildren to keep her occupied, retirement just doesn't sound like an appropriate phrase for what Joy will be doing. It does justify her co-worker's description of her as: hard working, accessible and caring.
