Utah County has a new champion in its halls, the recently honored Employee of the Month for August 2025, Jeanne Bowen. Known throughout the offices for her commitment and amiable nature, Bowen has made a name for herself beyond the walls of the Utah County Treasurer’s Office. An email filled with praise from her colleagues tipped the scales in her favor, highlighting her public service ethos and dedication to her community.
"Jeanne Bowen is a true public servant of Utah County," her coworkers shared in a nomination email. They credit her with a willingness to "go above and beyond for anybody who needs help." This is no small statement; it speaks to an ethos of selflessness that appears to be the norm for Bowen. Her contributions are diverse, from serving on UCEA and Well 4 Life to participating on the board for the Utah Valley Roads Special Service District. Jeanne's expertise is well-regarded, noted by her peers with the quip that she is possibly "the smartest one in the building."
A model of health and camaraderie, Bowen is noted for forming teams and leading walks during breaks, a move to encourage physical activity among her colleagues. This attitude extends to her work, where she is celebrated for guiding taxpayers personally to resolve their issues. "Oftentimes, she will walk with a taxpayer to different offices to help make sure all their questions are answered and taken care of," notes the Utah County Treasurer’s Office. Her meticulous work ethic is matched only by a personal touch, as she offers a ready ear and empathy to those in need, even if it means sacrificing her own time.
Augmenting her list of qualities, Bowen also infuses the workspace with fun through her unique tradition of a "weird food day," a simple yet distinct testament to her personality shared by her coworkers. As obtained by the Utah County Treasurer’s Office, Jeanne is recognized as "delightful to work with," and someone who "truly is here to serve the taxpayer." The fabric of Utah County's service team is enriched by Jeanne Bowen's presence.
