Anna Meadors
The next time you’re in the Whitfield County Courthouse, take a look at how neat and clean the building is.
If you’re lucky, you might run into one of the people responsible for that tidiness: Anna Meadors, who has just been named the county’s Employee of the Month for January.
“Every morning when I come into the courthouse, Anna is always working hard and is always in a pleasant, welcoming mood to each person that walks in the door,” said Karen Weeks, who nominated Ms.
Meadors for the monthly honor. “I feel that she truly takes pride in her work, and it shows.”
Ms. Weeks says having the responsibility of keeping one of the busiest floors of the courthouse clean “is quite a task, and Anna does an excellent job.”
Michelle Garrison also nominated Ms. Meadors as Employee of the Month, noting that “this lady goes above and beyond to keep the courthouse (main floor) clean every single day and with a smile on her face the entire time.”
“She greets me every morning with a smile,” Ms. Garrison says, “while she is mopping the floors, which always smell great because of her. She takes pride in her work.”
To help local residents learn more about her personality and her family background, Ms. Meadors filled out the following fun questionnaire:
