Staff say Roselle's legacy shaped Mecklenburg County's stormwater program and workplace culture
Summary
Staff described how Rusty Roselle blended technical leadership with mentorship, saying he built a program respected nationwide and a workplace culture of mutual care and service.
Current staff described Rusty Roselle as both a technical leader in water-quality management and a mentor who emphasized people over process.
"He planted in each of us this idea that you can work, but you can also work with passion and with a service mind," Speaker 1 said, describing events Roselle hosted and the familial culture he fostered. Speaker 2 added that Rusty's charisma enabled him to "bring different groups of people together," contributing to the program's ability to collaborate with stakeholders.
Speaker 3 connected that stewardship to local history, noting his ancestors operated a ferry on the Catawba River called Rosales Ferry and saying that local waterways informed his own commitment to surface-water protection.
