The Franklin County Commissioners proudly present the Employee of the Month award to Mr. Brady Strite.

Mr. Strite has been employed with Franklin County since March of 2019.  He currently serves as a Department of Emergency Services (DES) Telecommunicator I. There were a total of ten nominations. The nomination form asks what recent event or occurrence prompted you to select Brady and the answers stated:

“Telecommunicator Brady Strite was dispatching at the 911 Center recently when he received a 911 call for a female who was in her third trimester of pregnancy and having contractions. While Brady was obtaining information to send help, the lady’s water broke and she went into heavy labor. Brady calmly gave instructions to the expectant father in preparation for a delivery until Emergency Medical Services (EMS) could arrive to assist. During this time the expectant mother was put on the phone with Brady. Brady was able to keep her calm and reassured her that help was on the way. As Brady continued speaking with the expectant parents, nature took its course and the delivery began prior to EMS help arriving. Brady remained calm, kept the soon-to-be new parents calm, and from his training and protocol, provided step by step instructions for the birth. Brady’s outstanding actions resulted in the successful delivery of a healthy baby boy. After EMS arrived the mother and newborn child were transported to the hospital. Brady’s demeanor, training, and following of procedures helped ensure a new life entered this world safely in less than desirable conditions. The end result was that the baby was delivered safely and mother and child were transported to the hospital. The parents, along with their 2 year old son, came into the 911 Center a few weeks after the delivery to visit with Brady and his team that were working that night.”

Mr. Strite’s outstanding characteristics are attributes that have not gone unnoticed by his peers. The nomination form describes him as being professional, a team player, and having a positive attitude.

We are grateful to Mr. Brady Strite as he exudes a high standard of customer service, excellence, and respect to the employees and residents of Franklin County.
