A geographical information systems (GIS) mapping technician who works within Calvert’s Department of Planning and Zoning received a nod for recognition from Department of Economic Development officials. During their Dec. 20 meeting, the Calvert County Commissioners saluted Harry “Ray” Alvey as county government’s Employee of the Month for November.
“In recent months we have relied on Ray’s assistance to print numerous oversized maps and posters used to promote economic/tourism activities and events,” the nomination form submitted by Department of Economic Development officials stated. “Often unforeseen situations arise where Ray is given short notice to produce these printouts, yet he consistently goes out of his way to cheerfully address our needs in an extremely efficient and professional manner.”
Mark Willis of the Calvert County Government Employee Recognition Committee called Alvey’s actions “good customer service inside county government.”
Department of Economic Development officials stated the GIS data Alvey provides “is a great enhancement to Calvert County’s marketing and outreach programs, and activities.”
Department of Planning and Zoning Director Chuck Johnston reported Alvey had an idea for doing a video to help applicants through the county government’s permit process. Mark Volland of the Department of Economic Development is currently coordinating a “how to” video to help simplify the permit process for the public. The project is being done in cooperation with the Department of Planning and Zoning. The commissioners would review such a video prior to its posting on the county government web site.
Alvey thanked the Department of Economic Development “for nominating me.”
