Employee of the Quarter Spotlight: Rachel Trolinger
Please join us in congratulating Rachel Trolinger as our Employee of the Quarter!
Rachel has served in our Community and Economic Development Division for an impressive 12 years, and was nominated for this honor in recognition of her outstanding dedication to her coworkers during a pivotal software transition. Her leadership, support, and steady presence made a significant impact when it was needed most.
Outside of work, Rachel is the proud mother of Taylor Swanner, Sydney Burke (Matt), and Brayden Trolinger, but her pride and joy is her 6-year-old granddaughter, Loretta.
We thank Rachel for her incredible service to our residents and her unwavering commitment to her team. Congratulations, Rachel — this recognition is well deserved!
