Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton recognized Matt Luna, office manager for the Child Support Division’s Nacogdoches office, for his commitment to Texas children. Luna was named “Office Manager of the Year” on Friday at the Statewide Child Support Managers’ Conference in Dallas. Luna was selected for the award based on recommendations from his peers and supervisors, with a particular focus on his willingness to go beyond his normal duties to serve Texas children.
“I commend Matt for his hard work and dedication to improving the lives of Texas children,” Attorney General Paxton said. “Matt represents the best, and it is employees like him that make this agency great. I am thankful to Matt for answering the call to serve the people of Texas.”
Luna began his career in 1997 as a Child Support Officer II and was promoted to a Child Support Officer IV before becoming an office manager. Luna was chosen “Office Manager of the Year” because of his critical insight and ability to coordinate, plan and anticipate future challenges. He is a team player who is recognized as a subject matter expert by his colleagues.
Regional administrator Charles “Chip” Arnold said, “As evidenced by his office’s continued success, Matt focuses on results, achieves optimal outcomes and exceeds the norm. Matt’s willingness to share new and innovative ideas makes him a natural leader among his peers.”
The Nacogdoches child support office handles more than 18,000 child support cases and collected $45 million in child support for the state fiscal year that ended Aug. 31. The Attorney General’s Child Support Division is the most successful and cost-effective program in the nation. The division handles 1.5 million child support cases, serving 1.7 million children.
