Each year the National Association of Counties (NACo) brings attention to innovative county government programs across the country. This year, two Hamilton County programs were recognized:

-Passport to Development, a peer-driven training program for Hamilton County Job and Family supervisors and managers.

-Beyond Positions to Progress, a labor and management collaboration focusing on changing office culture through respect, cooperation and partnership.

Both of these programs were innovative approaches to employee development and collaboration. 🏆

As the world mourns Dolly Parton today, we want to add: Thank you, Dolly, for putting books into the hands of children in foster care.

Every child deserves the chance to get lost in a good story. Dolly's generous Imagination Library has made that possible for kids who have already experienced more than their share of challenges.

Thank you, Dolly, for believing in the potential of every child. 📚❤️
