Utah County has named its Employee of the Month for October 2025, spotlighting a figure of steady dedication and positive influence within the local government. Kary Gedge, a member of the Utah County Assessor's Office, earned this accolade through nominations by his peers who commend his problem-solving capabilities and uplifting spirit. His dedication and contagious can-do attitude have set a benchmark for excellence within his department.
In remarks obtained by the Utah County, colleague Diane Garcia shared, "Kary Gedge is a highly motivated individual who rolls up his sleeves and devotes his time, energy, and talents to getting a job done." Garcia praises Gedge's enthusiasm and his near-encyclopedic knowledge of the State Tax Code, hinting at both his proficiency and his fairness in executing his duties in property valuation. According to Garcia, "Kary’s stature is more than just his physical height; it is the reputation he has earned by utilizing his abilities and kind heart."
Utah County's official recognition comes as a result of a collective voice from Gedge's coworkers. It isn't just the technical know-how Gedge brings to the table, but also his approach to work life that garners respect. It's not every day that a civil servant's influence extends beyond policy and paperwork to actually foster a better work environment.
