Augusta
Employee of the Month

Current Employee - June 2005

Congratulations To Charles Rollins

Mr. Charles Rollins, Deputy with the Marshal’s Office assigned to the Augusta Regional Airport , was awarded the June 2005 Employee of the Month for the City of Augusta . He was nominated by Tammy Strange, an employee with the Augusta Regional Airport.

Ms. Strange describes the following account of events. In February of this year the whole southeast had been affected by a cold front causing long delays, with her 9:00 p.m. flight finally arriving in Augusta at 2:00 a.m.

A young mother inquired if it was okay for her to leave her vehicle with her daughter asleep inside parked outside the terminal while she retrieved her luggage. It had been a long night and everyone was exhausted. Mr. Rollins smiled and told her it was okay and proceeded to step outside in the rain to watch over the child.

I approached Mr. Rollins that morning after most of the passenger had left and told him that I had witnessed his act of kindness. I then told him, “not many folks would have volunteered to stand outside in the freezing rain.” His response was, “he did not want the little girl to wake up and be scared.”

The Augusta Regional Airport also received an email from a passenger describing how this Deputy’s composed demeanor and kindness calmed a room full of passengers looking for their luggage. The Committee felt that based on Ms. Strange’s recommendation and Mr. Rollins’ dedicated and loyal service to the City of Augusta , he should be awarded Employee of the Month. Mr. Rollins was recognized during the July 26 Commission Meeting.

Congratulations You Are Making A Difference In The City Of Augusta!
