Horry County Government held its annual Employee of the Year ceremony on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
Horry County Government is privileged to have thousands of hardworking team members serving our community, but only a small group is considered for this prestigious honor.
“For your name to be on this list, you have stepped up. You have shown that you are a cut above.” Barry Spivey, County Administrator said. We appreciate what you stand for. You set the bar. You set the example. You're the people I want to be.”
All 2024 Employee of the Quarter winners were recognized, before the winner was announced.
Brenna DeWalt from the Assessor’s Office was selected as the 2024 Employee of the Year. Brenna joined Horry County Government nearly three years ago. She currently serves as Taxpayer Services Representative.
“It definitely feels great to be recognized for what I do. I do a lot more than is asked of me, so it feels amazing to be recognized,” Brenna said.
Though there could only be one winner, each nominee showcased what it means to be “committed to excellence” as a public servant in Horry County.
“It is just an awesome opportunity to see who the best of the best is, and the contributions you make each and every day at our organization.” Randy Webster, Deputy County Administrator, said to the nominees.
Runner-ups for the 2024 Employee of the Year award include Dep. Lee from the Horry County Sheriff’s Office and Denise from Maintenance.
