Solid Waste Services Veteran Is Raleigh's Employee Of The Year
George Foster, a 24-year veteran with the Solid Waste Services Department, today was named the City of Raleigh Employee of the Year.
Mr. Foster began his service with the Capital City as a laborer and today has the duties of Yard Waste Center crew supervisor.
In making the announcement, City Manager J. Russell Allen said of Mr. Foster: “One thing George cannot do is whine. His coworkers know that for certain, because it can be driving rain, frigid and windy, or still, humid and 100 degrees and George is still 100 percent on the job.”
In addition to being an excellent employee, Mr. Foster is president of his church usher board, a volunteer for a non profit that buys medicines for people who cannot afford them and cooks and serves meals to senior citizens.
Mr. Foster was chosen from a field of eight other departmental employees of the year. They are: Paul Roberts, Fire Department; Kristopher Larson, Development Services; Luther Williams, Administrative and Support Services; Mikaela Kelsey, Emergency Communications; Danny Morgan, Parks and Recreation; Allen Simms, Police; Perry Allen, Public Utilities; Larry Wiggins, Public Works.
