Acknowledging Warren County Administrator, Doug Stanley

I want to acknowledge Warren County’s Administrator, Doug Stanley, and his family for what they have done for myself and this community.

I first met Mr. Stanley through soccer; his daughter and I are close in age and are now friends. He was my coach for a time and was just there to help in any way he could. His wife, Mrs. Stanley, was my sixth grade English teacher and was the first person that finally convinced me that reading was essential to almost all aspects of a person’s life. She is one of the most supporting, understanding, and intelligent people I know. As I was applying to colleges, knowing both of their high character and impactful presence in my life, and in what I still consider my community, I asked them to write some of my reference letters.

I am beyond grateful for the whole Stanley family. I remember when I was in middle school in 2012, we visited the government center to listen to Mr. Stanley speak of the new projects underway. I first questioned why we were taken to this event, but soon began to understand the importance of young generations realizing how much our community has grown from whatever adversity is present.

Doug Stanley has proven since then that he will outwork the obstacles that the County receives so that it may be a better place.

Sincerely,
