The RM of Portage la Prairie's new Admin Assistant is enjoying her new position.

Ashton Thompson started in her role last week, and says her previous position should help her in her new role.

"I worked for the RM of Grey as a finance clerk. I worked there for a year, and I just finished there in the beginning of June, so I started here last week. I'm learning quite a bit, it's different from my last position, it's more of a variety of different departments but I'm liking it."

Thompson gives an outline of her duties.

"Working with title changes and assisting with payroll and accounts payable, back-up for reception as well. Taking minutes for management meetings, and helping with the council agenda and minutes. Preparation for the meetings."

She's happy with how things are going.
