Clerk's Office Honors 9/11 with Habitat Build
Employees of the Clerk’s office, family and friends were joined by First Baptist Church of Palm Coast youth volunteers on Saturday September 11, 2010 for a Habitat for Humanity build in Palm Coast. The volunteers contributed their time to assist in the raising of the walls of a new Habitat House and to honor the day by building something instead of watching something fall.
Congratulations to Joannie Stachurski
Congratulations to Joannie Stachurski, who has obtained her Professional in Human Resources Certification (PHR) from the HR Certification Institute, an internationally recognized leader in HR certification.
Joannie started with the Clerk’s Office in April of 1994 as a Finance Clerk I. Joannie advanced herself in the Clerk’s Office through hard work and dedication, eventually overseeing all functions of Payroll and HR. In June of 2007, Joannie was promoted to Director of Human Resources for the Clerk’s Office.
HR certification is a career-long commitment – one who gains it has mastered core Human Resources’ principals, has completed difficult course work and successfully passed (the very first time) an arduous exam.
All of us within this office know Joannie is devoted to us and her profession.
Thanks Joannie for making us better!
