Huron County's CAO has been recognized by the Canadian Association of Municipal Administrators for fifteen years of service.
Brenda Orchard has served in municipal leadership in three provinces; New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and for the last three years in Ontario.
She says that experience has given her a perspective she would likely not have otherwise, and while there are definitely some differences - there are also many similarities in the issues municipal governments in different provinces face.
Orchard adds Huron County Councillors have been the best she's ever worked with and the award and the presentation meant more for that reason.
