O’Brien named 2014 Calvert County employee of the year

Kathy O’Brien, project coordinator for the Department of Technology Services, was named the 2014 Calvert County Employee of the Year during Calvert County’s Employee Service Awards Ceremony Feb. 3.

O’Brien, the 2014 Employee of the Month for April, was at the annual ceremony to receive an award for 15 years of service and was surprised by the announcement.

Her nomination was not for a one-time occurrence but for a consistent desire to help with any problems that arise. She is credited with saving county government and taxpayer money by introducing numerous technological efficiencies, including the automation of the county commissioners’ agendas.
