Janine Baker

Janine Baker, the administrator at Sparks Justice Court, was recently selected by the Nevada Association of Court Executives (NACE) as its 2012 Executive of the Year.

“I know I speak for all administrators and senior court staff throughout the state when I say Janine earned this award and no one is more deserving,” said Steve Tuttle, vice president of NACE. “Her steadfast efforts in relocating her court, implementing a new case management system and maintaining a balanced, yet declining, budget over the past several years are great achievements. To successfully do all three in a two or three year period is noteworthy.”

Tuttle also said the Board received many nominations for the award and Janine was clearly one of the front- runners. “We received four separate nominations for her alone; all citing three major accomplishments.”

Other contributing factors involved in the final decision included Baker’s participation with court process improvement committees at both the local and state levels.

Baker is a graduate of Sparks High School and began her career with the Sparks Justice Court as chief civil clerk.

“I am very honored to have received this award as I hold so many of the past recipients in the highest regard,” said Baker. “In my 25-plus years with the court, I’ve been through two courthouse moves and two major case management system implementations, but I’ve only worked under four judges.”
