Wilson County Government recognizes April as National County Government Month. This year’s theme is “Counties Matter”. While the theme was made way before the current coronavirus, it rings truer than ever. Over the last few weeks I continue to be amazed, but not surprised, at the hard work, dedication, kindness, and human compassion that I see with Wilson County Government’s professional family.
We know, as county government professionals, we all work attentively for safety, infrastructure, technology, public health, emergency response, child and adult well-being, environmental stewardship and so many other services. It’s the strength and drive behind all of that hard work that makes you the champion that you are.
Last Monday the Board of Commissioners approved a proclamation recognizing April as “National County Government Month” and due to current events, we were unable to have staff present to recognize years of service. Those names are listed below and we value every minute of every year they have served our citizens.
In closing, none of us know what the future weeks and months ahead will bring. I do know that we will meet the challenges and opportunities “the Wilson County way” and that is with a great hearts for people and more chances to provide great hope right here at home.
Thank you for your service.
