IN SPECIAL RECOGNITION OF ANDREW KALMAR'S RETIREMENT
______
HON. ROBERT E. LATTA
of ohio
in the house of representatives
Friday, July 1, 2022
Mr. LATTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Andrew Kalmar's retirement as Wood County Administrator and recognize his outstanding career. Andrew has been administrator for twenty-two years and has proven himself to be a leader for both his department and county.
Andrew, originally from Troy, Ohio, graduated from Bowling Green State University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education. He also received a Master of Public Administration degree. Andrew began his career with the Wood County Commissioners in January 2000 after serving as the director of the Wood County Park District.
Over the span of Andrew's tenure as administrator, Wood County has built a strong financial position, experienced economic growth and development, made improvements to county facilities, and increased efficiency of departmental operations. Also, Andrew played a key role in the construction of the Alvin L. Perkins Atrium at the Wood County Courthouse and office complex. During the last two years, Andrew has been instrumental in guiding Wood County through the COVID-19 pandemic while still maintaining productivity throughout all aspects of county work. Andrew's character and leadership have contributed to the success of Wood County, making it a remarkable place to live and work.
Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying special tribute to Andrew Kalmar in recognition of his service to Wood County. On behalf of the people of the Fifth District of Ohio, I wish Andrew all the best in his future endeavors and thank him for his many years of service.
