The Forsyth County Board of Commissioners recently recognized outgoing Civil Service Board Member and Board of Equalization Board Member Dr. Avery Howell for his public service and presented him with a Resolution of appreciation.

Dr. Howell was appointed to serve as a member of the Forsyth County Civil Service Board in 1988 and served until his resignation on November 1, 2014.  He served as Chairman of the Board from August 17, 1995 through July 12, 2012.

In addition to his service on the Civil Service Board, the Grand Jury of Forsyth County appointed him to serve as an alternate member of the Forsyth County Board of Equalization in 1992. After serving 21 years on the board, Dr. Howell resigned from the Board of Equalization in 2014.

“The Board of Commissioners of Forsyth County, Georgia does herby recognize Dr. Avery Y. Howell for his years of service to Forsyth County and extends its deepest appreciation to Dr. Howell for his time and dedication while serving this community,” Forsyth County Commission Chairman R.J. (Pete) Amos read from the Resolution.

Dr. Howell was also recognized by the Civil Service Board earlier in April, when Civil Service Board Chairman Terry Smith presented him with a Resolution honoring his service.
