Josh’s nomination read as follows:   

 
Josh Myers is in charge of making his shift run smoothly and efficient. He is a working supervisor taking on the role of a telecommunicator with added responsibilities of watching out for the people he serves. He guides his team with a steady hand but yet being very fair, which is sometimes hard to accomplish. He is very laid back, calm, and has a good humor about himself. He has to be peace maker and advisor to his co-workers. He never requires something of his team in which he will not do himself. He uses a very logical approach to solving problems.

Josh is also a Volunteer Fireman on his time off which shows he is dedicated to helping people. He was Telecommunicator of the Year in 2009 and Shift Supervisor of the Year in both 2010 and 2011. This shows that whatever role he is in, he excels. He has been employed since June of 2006.

In order to be nominated on the State Level Josh was chosen by his peers at the Davidson County 9-1-1 center for Shift Supervisor of the year. At the same time the employees of the center chose Courtney Hepler, and Jamison Sears as Telecommunicators of the year. All show exemplary skills in their field.    

   
The staff of the 9-1-1 center as well as myself are very proud of Josh and his accomplishments.   He is very deserving of the award and Davidson County is fortunate to have him leading a great group of Telecommunicators.
