Summary

At a Palm Beach County recognition event, the county administrator thanked long-serving staff and said the coming year will emphasize mentorship, work environment improvements and the DCA team's role in workforce support.

The county administrator opened a staff recognition ceremony by thanking employees for long service and praising their role in daily county operations, saying county government is "on the ground every single day." He called for recognition of employees' families and framed county employment as a "work family."

The administrator said his first year focused on reorganizing county structures and that the next year will prioritize the work environment and mentorship, including direction from the DCA team. He singled out senior staff as mentors for new employees and urged experienced staff to "never be shy" about sharing institutional knowledge. "What we do is truly public service," he said, noting the time staff spend away from family.
