Jun 16, 2015

Secretary of State Kim Wyman presented Okanogan County Chief Deputy Auditor/Election Supervisor Mila Jury with a County Election Employee of the Year award at the 2015 state Elections Conference last week in SeaTac.

Mike Rooney of Pierce County also received the county award.

Wyman praised Jury, who has 40 years of experience working in elections, for providing leadership for her peers and offering feedback on elections issues.

“Mila displayed nerves of steel and great leadership during last year’s raging wildfires,” Wyman said. “She was unfazed and had a plan to manage elections manually if needed.”

“Mila conducts elections with integrity, efficiency and transparency, we are fortunate to have her knowledge and dedication in the Okanogan County Auditor’s office.” Thomas added.

During last week’s conference, Wyman and her Elections Division staff joined Thomas, Jury and other county auditors and county elections employees to learn or share new ideas and practices that will allow them to run elections even better both at the county and state levels.

The annual conference was hosted by the Washington State Association of County Auditors.
