Alton Head Honored for Service
The HCWA recently honored Customer Service Technician Alton Head with the General Manager’s Award, which is given to an Authority employee who demonstrates a commitment to their work at the utility and a love for public outreach and service to others in the community.
In addition to working the past five years at the HCWA, Mr. Head is Senior Pastor at Word of Life Christian Ministry in McDonough, in addition to being the Commander of the American Legion, Post 516. Through all of these avenues of service – as an Authority employee, pastor, and commander – he leads efforts throughout metro Atlanta to refurbish homes of veterans, especially those with disabilities, provide disaster relief for hurricane victims across the South, and host events such as Veteran’s Luncheons, Dinners, Parades, and more.
“Alton has a heart of gold that’s dedicated to service with compassion for others,” says Tony V. Carnell, HCWA General Manager, who presented Mr. Head with the General Manager’s Award at the February Board Meeting. “He is driven to fill needs in the community. That strong work ethic he exhibits here at work carries over to his community service as well.”
Mr. Head and the other members of the American Legion, Post 516 in McDonough, will be recognized on April 16, by the National Commander with the Award for Best American Legion Post in the Nation, for their service to youth and others.
