Powhatan County
Whether you are an employee of one of our elected Constitutional Officers, or report to the County Administrator, we are all committed to serving the needs of our community. We accomplish this through a shared vision adopted by the Board of Supervisors.
To achieve this vision, we identify and advance the policy interests of the Board of Supervisors through strategic planning processes and community engagement activities that result in a responsive, accountable county government aligned with community goals. We not only share a vision, but we also share core values about our work. We have agreed upon five core principles that define how we carry out our responsibilities as we serve the citizens of our community. We understand it is not just “what” we do, but “how” we do it that determines public trust in our actions. Therefore, we collectively commit to the shared values of having integrity, having a positive attitude, working together as a team, striving for customer service, and always being accountable. As an employee, we ask that you seek to support our organizational culture through the promotion of respect, stewardship, fun, and balance.
