Northumberland County Commends Long-Serving Employees

In City Hall, Local

As a corporation that takes pride in its employee-employer culture, Northumberland County is pleased to plan twice-yearly commendations for its long-serving staffers.
At the July council meeting, the gallery was packed with employees awaiting their recognition from chief administrative officer Jennifer Moore.
Ten employees were recognized for five years of service, 19 were honoured for a decade of service, nine could boast 15 years of service, and six were commended for 20 years of service.
The numbers got sparser after that, Moore noted, as two employees were honoured for 25 years of service and one for 35 years. Six employees who had recently retired were brought back for recognition as well, having worked anywhere from 11 to 29 years.
The departments they represented included the Material Recovery Facility, the Golden Plough Lodge, the paramedic squad, transportation, information technology, community services, finance, human resources, corporate services, planning and waste.
Prior to the recognition, Brighton Township Mayor Mark Walas shared a note of commendation he’d received from a new resident of the community, saying the staff at the landfill were also great ambassadors for the municipality.
“All the great work you do collectively does not go unnoticed,” Walas told the assembled employees.
Moore said she also gets such comments from time to time, and always tries to pass them along to the employees involved.
The fact that so many county employees meet such milestones is a testament to the culture they work in, Warden Mark Lovshin added.
“Your skills and professional achievements play a significant part in the county’s continuing success,” Lovshin said.
