Executive Director of Keep Oconee County Beautiful Commission Has Submitted Her Resignation

Angela Helwig, executive director of the Keep Oconee County Beautiful Commission, has submitted her resignation to the county, saying the job requires more time than she is able to give to it.

Helwig, who also serves as receptionist in the Oconee County Board of Commissioners office, open records officer for the Industrial Development Authority, and recording secretary for the IDA and for the Citizens Advisory Committee for Land Use and Transportation Planning, among other assignments, said her resignation is effective June 30.

Helwig has been serving as executive director of the Commission for the last four years on an unpaid basis, though she does do work out of her office in the Courthouse between tasks for her regular jobs.

The county should convert the job back to a full-time position, Helwig said in the email message she sent on May 5 to BOC Chairman Melvin Davis and County Administrative Officer Jeff Benko with her resignation.
