At the Wednesday, December 17, 2025 meeting, the Board of County Commissioners recognized two County employees for their outstanding years of dedicated service to Nassau County.
Celebrating 25 years of service this month is Scott Lear, a Truck Driver with the Road Department. Road Director Darren Marsh shared that Scott was originally hired as a Maintenance Helper before advancing into his current role. “Scott is now one of our lead, senior truck drivers, and we rely on him to train future truck drivers,” Marsh said. “He is a true team player and is always one of the first to step up when help is needed in other areas. That kind of effort and dedication is hard to find, and I appreciate Scott for all he has done.”
Also recognized was Youth Librarian Michelle Forde, who is celebrating 20 years of service to Nassau County. Director of Strategic Advancement Brandy Carvalho highlighted Michelle’s tremendous impact on the community, noting that she facilitates at least five youth programs each week. That's more than 260 programs annually! “Over 20 years, that’s 5,200 times Michelle has introduced children to curiosity, learning, and often their very first library card,” Carvalho said. “She has inspired Nassau County youth to become lifelong learners. It takes a special person to do this work, and we are grateful she has chosen to share her talents with Nassau County.”
The Board of County Commissioners extends its sincere appreciation to Scott Lear and Michelle Forde for their years of dedicated service, professionalism, and commitment to serving the residents of Nassau County. Their contributions have made a lasting, positive impact on the community, and the Board thanks them for their continued service to Nassau County and its citizens.
