Summer interns present Glynn County strategic‑plan progress, set adoption timeline

Two Glynn County summer interns presented a condensed review of the county’s 2023–2026 strategic plan and a 34‑page write‑up to commissioners and staff. The presentation outlined the plan’s three goals — cultivating service excellence, promoting a safe Glynn County, and developing a connected community — and emphasized measurable objectives and department accountability.

“Starting off with the strategic plan, which I know you all are familiar with,” intern Nala Reimler said, outlining the goals and deliverables that guided the summer work. Michael Gleaves, who coordinated the interns’ project, introduced the students and turned the presentation over to them.

The interns described their process of interviewing 20 department and county leaders and compiling findings into a brochure and a full write‑up that will be distributed publicly in the coming weeks. They said the county’s regular QER (quarterly evaluation review) process will continue and that the rollout for the next strategic plan will begin with community listening; they reported that formal plan adoption will start in November 2026.

Commissioners and staff praised the work. One commissioner said the plan “has made their work much more efficient” and noted a final QER will be scheduled in September to push overall completion toward 100%. The presentation closed with thanks to the interns and an acknowledgment that several infrastructure projects and process improvements remain in progress.
