Utah County recognizes Dave Henry as February employee of the month
Summary
Commissioners recognized Dave Henry for 32 years of county service and his work in GIS mapping and mentoring interns.
At a Utah County Commission meeting (date not specified in the transcript), county officials recognized Dave Henry as the employee of the month for February, citing 32 years of service and sustained contributions to the county's mapping (GIS) work.
A commissioner introduced Henry and said he has been a long-serving county employee who began his career in the assessor's office and later worked in the county’s GIS unit. The commissioner described Henry as an “oak tree” for the organization — someone with substantial institutional knowledge who has mentored more than 100 interns and supported multiple county departments through mapping and land-related services.
Henry accepted the recognition and told the commissioners, “Thank you very much. That's an honor... I love working for the county. The reason I stayed here for 32 years is for the people.” He said he appreciates the colleagues and leadership he has worked with over the years.
The ceremony included brief remarks and a request for a photo with Henry; no formal vote was required to recognize the employee.
The transcript identifies the GIS unit and notes that many county functions — recording, assessing, taxing and surveying — rely on mapping work performed by Henry’s unit.
