special opening to our meeting today. 59 00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:16,090 This is something that the commissioners 60 00:03:16,090 --> 00:03:17,690 always look forward to. 61 00:03:17,690 --> 00:03:19,450 And with our new commissioner, Anita, 62 00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:20,830 I think you're going to get excited about 63 00:03:20,830 --> 00:03:22,840 is what we've done. 64 00:03:22,840 -->

what your normal day is. 76 00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:51,490 You think people in public service are leaders anyways. 77 00:03:51,490 --> 00:03:53,590 They may not see it from your every day of your office 78 00:03:53,590 --> 00:03:55,030 where you serve the public, but you 79 00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:56,920 have to be in some kind of have to have a leadership 80 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,190 mindset to do the work of public service 81 00:04:00,190 --> 00:04:02,380 because it's not just about. 82 00:04:02,380 --> 00:04:03,860 You're serving somebody. 83 00:04:03,860 --> 00:04:07,150 And I think we're fortunate to be able to serve somebody. 84 00:04:07,150 --> 00:04:08,900 It's an honor that I know the three of us, 85 00:04:08,900 --> 00:04:10,580 because we actually are crazy enough to try 86 00:04:10,580 --> 00:04:12,590 to get elected to do this. 87 00:04:12,590 --> 00:04:15,320 But to see that commitment and the people that we work with 88 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,300 is very heartwarming and gratitude. 89 00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:19,110 So welcome. 90 00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:22,700 We'll get you your certificates in a minute. 91 00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:26,150 And I as well want to commend you for taking 92 00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:28,050 this additional role on. 93 00:04:28,050 --> 00:04:29,870 And some of you when you meet, that 94 00:04:29,870 --> 00:04:32,870 means that you're also leaving behind a little work 95 00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:33,860 at the office. 96 00:04:33,860 --> 00:04:35,880 When you go back, you have to catch it up. 97 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:41,150 So I appreciate you wanting to be our leaders emerging 98 00:04:41,150 --> 00:04:43,400 and developing and some of the things 99 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,850 that you all that your cohort came out from 100 00:04:46,850 --> 00:04:52,520 was when we had the dog tags from Veterans Services 101 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:58,430 and doing the dog dog tag re-upping for the renewal that 102 00:04:58,430 --> 00:05:00,810 came from this group of folks. 103 00:05:00,810 --> 00:05:02,970 And so I Thank you for that. 104 00:05:02,970 --> 00:05:07,610 And look forward to seeing what we get in our future classes, 105 00:05:07,610 --> 00:05:10,250 because that was an amazing idea. 106 00:05:10,250 --> 00:05:11,530 So Thank you. 107 00:05:11,530 --> 00:05:12,030 Thank you. 108 00:05:12,030

heart 112 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,010 because some of where my roots came from 113 00:05:22,010 --> 00:05:24,890 is working at jobs and Family Services 114 00:05:24,890 --> 00:05:27,320 and thinking around and understanding 115 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,780 barriers to the clients that use the portal. 116 00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:33,500 So I know as someone that's worked 117 00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:37,440 in that space, that's something that we heard from clients. 118 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,580 And so you guys taking that task on to really dive 119 00:05:40,580 --> 00:05:43,950 deeper and bring your ideas up. 120 00:05:43,950 --> 00:05:46,290 And we came up with some pretty good ideas. 121 00:05:46,290 --> 00:05:51,290 But the ideas that you all focused on that filter 122 00:05:51,290 --> 00:05:55,680 back up to us, I appreciate that. 123 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,500 And just because you've gone through Lee doesn't mean, 124 00:05:58,500 --> 00:06:01,370 the ideas don't stop flowing. 125 00:06:01,370 --> 00:06:05,720 So keep those juices going and keep giving us great ideas 126 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:07,520 to be able to go out there and serve the public 127 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,520 in a much better way. 128 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,610 So congratulate congratulations to each and every one of you 129 00:06:12,610 --> 00:06:15,890 and looking for and Brian Canham HR. 130 00:06:15,890 --> 00:06:17,500 Department has done this for a while 131 00:06:17,500 --> 00:06:22,970 and I'm so thankful that Brian continues to want to do that. 132 00:06:22,970 --> 00:06:25,870 So Thank you, Brian and for our HR department 133 00:06:25,870 --> 00:06:28,570 for continuing to put this forward. 134 00:06:28,570 --> 00:06:31,780 Great well, first of all, congratulations 135 00:06:31,780 --> 00:06:34,690 because you were nominated by your boss, 136 00:06:34,690 --> 00:06:36,910 so that means you are already someone 137 00:06:36,910 --> 00:06:41,800 special in your department who they clearly saw our leaders. 138 00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,700 And the more you learn not only about what you do in your job, 139 00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:47,890 but how the whole County operates 140 00:06:47,890 --> 00:06:50,090 will help you become better leaders. 141 00:06:50,090 --> 00:06:52,390 And many of you will go on to be supervisors 142 00:06:52,390 --> 00:06:53,930 and continue to be promoted. 143 00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:59,050 Then when one of the past trends that we've identified 144 00:06:59,050 --> 00:07:01,390 is that those who begin in this class 145 00:07:01,390 --> 00:07:05,380 end up going further in leadership roles. 146 00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:07,330 I just want to give a special shout out 147 00:07:07,330 --> 00:07:10,810 to Children's Services because Rhonda, 148 00:07:10,810 --> 00:07:12,620 I worked at Children's Services. 149 00:07:12,620 --> 00:07:16,850 I started my career as a child abuse investigator. 150 00:07:16,850 --> 00:07:21,100 And I think starting, you know, all of you 151 00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:24,520 are the soldiers on the front line serving the public 152 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,040 and citizens, and you're the face of the County 153 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:28,400 that they first see. 154 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,760 So all of you deserve a great round of applause. 155 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:41,920 And we can all and again, never stop thinking that you 156 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,200 can also be the elected. 157 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,850 Congratulations OK, Brian. 158
