This recognition honors the deep, often overlooked contributions of Black communities across generations. We’re grateful to the Board for standing in alignment with this work. And a special shoutout goes to Henok Fanta, whose leadership in the Black Employee Network continues to move our county forward with clarity, courage, and care.hashtag#BHM26 hashtag#Blackemployeenetwork hashtag#ERG hashtag#washingtoncounty hashtag#celebration hashtag#proclamation
