Twenty-five Years
Four employees were honored for 25 years of service: Josie Garcia, child support services program manager; Debra Wilson, senior nutritionist, lactation consultant and supervisor; Michael Coughlan, supervising road maintenance worker and Steve Monaghan, recently retired director of Information and General Services.
Serving Nevada County has been a rewarding experience for Garcia. “I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to meaningful programs and work alongside dedicated colleagues whose passion and commitment have made the years fly by,” she said. “Looking back, I’m truly proud of what we accomplished together.”
Wilson said it feels surreal to hit this milestone. “I’ve been able to touch the lives of thousands of Nevada County families and help support their health and well-being,” she said. “I am truly grateful for such meaningful work in our great community.”
Coughlan, a fourth-generation Nevada County resident, said the 25 years went by fast. “The camaraderie here and the people here, it’s a big family. They’re a joy to work with.” [source: Nevada County]
