Vickie was nominated for volunteering her own time to spend several days working with the Red Cross in New York on the Hurricane Sandy relief efforts.  She also rescued one of our employees who had gotten locked in the annex basement.   


It is important for an organization to acknowledge the efforts of its staff.  In January 2005 the Lake Cumberland District Health Department started selecting an employee of the month.  The candidates are nominated by their peers for “going beyond the call of duty” and selected by the Executive Team by anonymous vote.  From the twelve monthly “Employees of the Month” an “Employee of the Year” is also selected.  Below is an archive of previous “Employees of the Year”.
