While much of my adult life has been spent in public service, I must confess that I can be uncomfortable when the spotlight shifts to me. In this blog I much prefer placing the focus on you and the great work you’re doing for our residents! That’s why I’m a little sheepish with this week’s blog topic – which is all about me.
Years ago, when we started Inside Pierce County – our video series that takes folks behind the scenes at the County – I didn’t anticipate that I would one day film a segment about what it’s like to serve as the Executive. But I must admit that when I’m out in the community I am frequently asked about what a typical day in my work looks like – as if there is anything that resembles a typical day around here!
So, I agreed to let PCTV follow me around and capture some of what I do in a day. I invite you to spend a “day” with me to learn more about what I do and why I do it.
My thanks to the many colleagues who allowed us to film our work together. I appreciate it! And a special shout out to my Executive Assistant and key partner, Lillian Scott. I would be lost without her!
Thanks for watching.
Bruce Dammeier, Executive,
Thank you for shifting the spotlight. Today’s video was excellent.
You also brought back memories of 14 years ago when I worked in Court Security in the County-City Building.
Like you, I took the stairs instead of the elevators. Only I ran the steps up and down from the basement to one floor above what was considered the top floor multiple times per day. I think that was 12 flights of stairs.
