The award recognizes an employee's dedication, accomplishments, and outstanding job performance. It also acknowledges the recipient's training achievements, certifications and overall job knowledge.

Our 2011 "Employee of the Year" award was presented to EMT-I
William E. Bailey, Jr. on December 10, 2011 during our Annual
Christmas Party.

In announcing the award, Chief Paula Lineberry said that the "Employee of The Year" award is a very high honor because the recipient is chosen by that person's own coworkers. She said, "The person this year is very deserving, and I think you guys made an excellent choice when you voted for this person. He has a very even personality, and is always pleasant. He always reports to work on time, he knows his job, he takes excellent care of his patients, and always goes the extra mile in seeing that the company's equipment is taken care of." She added, "This person is seasoned, and that's important. He is a veteran employee, and is very deserving to be called the 'Employee of the Year'."

The award was presented to William by Chief Paula Lineberry and
Board Vice Chairman Jeff Patton.

Following the presentation, Chief Lineberry said, "Thank you, William, for doing a good job. We just don't even have to worry about William. He's out there doing what he's supposed to do, and does a good job with it and he just self supervises, and that's how it is - he's that good."
