Hamilton County has a large number of employees that have served county government for many years, and they are set to be honored.  A total of 131 employees will be recognized as part of the celebration, each with receiving a service pin for at least 5 years of service.

“Our goal is to bring to the citizens and taxpayers of Hamilton County the most responsive governmental services possible,” says Human Resource Director for Hamilton County, Sheena Randall . “Employing top quality people, providing them with meaningful work, and retaining their services helps us serve the public efficiently and effectively.”

Hamilton County Auditor Robin Mills and Lynette Duvall, a caseworker in the Prosecutor’s Office, top this year’s list of employees with the most longevity. Each has been employed with the County for 40 years.

“I have stayed with Hamilton County because I enjoy the work I do,” Duvall says. “Plus, the county offers great benefits, such as health insurance, paid holidays, and a 37.5-hour work week.”

“I know that longevity in a place of employment is almost unheard of these days,” adds Mills. “But the county has offered me stability and job growth. I have been mentored by and continue to work with some pretty awesome people. It’s been a privilege to see Hamilton County grow and develop into one of the most sought-after places to live and to know that I have been a part of that.”

This year, six employees will celebrate 35 years of service with the County, 11 will mark 30 years, and 18 will observe 25 years. Another 17 employees will be honored for reaching the 20-year milestone with 15 others marking 15 years, 16 celebrating 10 years, and 46 observing five years of employment.
