| Chris Caldwell |
Casual Chris Caldwell, the county's
senior director of finance, is the 2012 R. Martin Peters Young
Alumnus of the Year.
Now, I don't know exactly what this
means, but it sounds kind of smart. And cool.
So, congrats to Caldwell. (He got a nice looking clock, but no coin.)
The honor was announced in one of
county communication director Michael “Big Sexy” Grider's spin
releases, which he is prone to email, particularly during the
beginning of the week when not jack is going on and he figures he'll
get some coverage.
But I digress.
The Lincoln Memorial University Alumni
Association recently picked Caldwell with the honor.
In a letter to the casual one – clickright smack here for it – LMU Director of Alumni Services Donnie
Lipscomb said:
“Your recent appointment as finance
director of Knox County shows the confidence the Knox County
government has in you with their most important information. You play
an important role that touches the lives of so many people. Also, you
are a positive role model not only in your community but throughout
East Tennessee.”
Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett promotedCasual Caldwell to the position in July after the last guy he broughtin lasted about two weeks. Chris has worked with the county for more
than a decade, including the past five or so years with a small team
that puts together the annual spending plan.
The award, according to the spin
release, is given to an individual “who embodies the character and
spirit of its namesake and exhibits qualities including patriotism,
leadership ability, volunteerism, a strong work ethic and
ambassadorship on behalf of the university.”
(Caldwell, 33, is a graduate of the
school. I got no idea what he studied, but I assume it dealt with
numbers.)
“Chris is great to work with, and is
very deserving of this recognition,” Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett
said. “He doe an outstanding job as finance director, and is
committed to being a good steward of taxpayer money.”
