The Finance and Operations Administrator for the Fremont County Department of Human Services was honored Tuesday as the 2009 Fremont County Employee of the Year. Linda Smith was honored during the regular board meeting of the Fremont County Commissioners. She has worked at the Department of Human Services since 1987. The Employee of the Year is selected by the Fremont County Elected Officials from nominations submitted by all county employees. Linda Smith's nomination letter read in part: "Whatever the project, Linda is always organized and ready to go - - Always pleasant and kind - -thoroughly knowledgeable - - a most respected colleague."
Linda was surprised to see 12 members of her family join the commissioners meeting to help her celebrate the honor.
Fremont County celebrates employees who maintain a high standard and work ethic. The Board of County Commissioners presented Linda with a framed certificate marking the occasion. She also received a $300 gift and her portrait will hang in the foyer of the County Administration Building during 2010.
