If there was a way to describe Fayerene Meeks in one word, it would be empowering. Whether she’s supporting staff in daily activities, training new staff members, deploying new Skyward SMS 2.0 modules at districts, or working with Skyward for development, Fayerene tirelessly strives to have positive growth in systems and processes within the business office.

One of Fayerene’s best attributes is her ability to develop relationships with others. After 47 years of service in Saginaw ISD, Fayerene has been instrumental in empowering others by identifying ways to streamline processes by using Skyward to its full potential. Fayerene takes the time to listen to others, making them feel comfortable reaching out to her, and encouraging them in their role. Fayerene provides a gold standard of customer service at all times.

To demonstrate some of the vast knowledge Fayerene has across the Skyward finance system, she has implemented employee reimbursement process, AP/AR processing, supports insurance tracking and much, much more. Fayerene’s positive attitude and excellent relationships help ease the necessary, but heavy change these processes often require.

Fayerene’s aspiration to lead brought her to serve as a board member for the Michigan Skyward User Group (MSUG) and the Michigan steering committee, which plans an annual user group conference for Skyward users in Michigan. She is innovative, service-oriented, and empowers all staff, especially when they need to contact her with a question or problem.

Because Fayerene is always supporting and streamlining processes, staff can focus on students first. Even when she is traveling with family or attending a Miracle League Game to support her son, she will take a call and support Skyward users — not out of obligation, but out of interest and a strong desire to build a better process. Fayerene puts students first, always, and selflessly seeks the best pathway to lift others up.
