SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS
Commissioner Mascara introduced the new 9-1-1 Coordinator, Brian Bark, who
began his official duties on Monday, June 15th.
Vickie Hladik Bryan and Tom Chaffee of the Tourist Promotion Agency presented
to the Board a new slogan and logo for the County which reads "This is Washington
County, by George" coupled with "We're on the Way". The slogan was created by Samantha
Sheller, a sixth grade student from McGuffey Middle School, as a result of a contest
held by the Agency wherein middle and high school students throughout the County were
invited to participate. Over 200 suggestions had been received and reviewed by the
Agency's Board of Directors. Mrs. Bryan explained that the new slogan will be used to
develop the updated image of Washington County. A graphic design of the logo will soon
be seen on pamphlets and brochures as well as in advertising done by the Agency and its
members. The development of the new image is part of a Legislative Initiative Grant
proposal which the Agency has written through the office of Senator J. Barry Stout.
The second phase of the grant will be "Operation Bandwagon", which will work to promote
the use of this new logo throughout government and private businesses and industries in
the County. The Commissioners presented a certificate to Samantha Sheller for her
imaginative creation in developing the winning slogan.
