ITEM 8. PERSONNEL: Employee of the Quarter, July, August, and September,
2012—Jeremy Jiunnies
The City of North Augusta Employee Recognition Committee recognized the
employee of the quarter for July, August, September of 2012, Jeremy Jiunnies,
Supervisor of Programs and Facilities for the Department of Parks, Recreation, &
Leisure Services.
Jeremy began his employment with the City of North Augusta on September 18,
1996 as a Program Coordinator. Jeremy was promoted to Activities Center
Supervisor in December of 2000. In February of 2010 Jeremy became the
Supervisor of Programs and Facilities. Jeremy and his wife Krista have three
daughters, Brooke, Blake, and Britton.
Jeremy has been an icon in the North Augusta community for the past fifteen
years around the ball fields and Activities Center. He is always seen as someone
who is a positive role model for kids and can always be seen mentoring troubled
youth around the Activities Center. Jeremy's demeanor in a tense situation may
be his biggest asset as he can calm irritable participants and fans with ease.
Jeremy is the primary point of contact for the Nike Peach Jam and Nike
Nationals tournaments held in July. He is the ambassador for one of the City's
Minutes of Regular Meeting of 10/15/12
largest events that draws thousands of participants, fans, media, and coaches
from around the nation. The economic impact of these events has been calculated
over $2 million dollars to the CSRA, and Jeremy is the lead man behind the
curtain for these events. It is commonplace to see NCAA coaches, officials, and
media staff takes time out of their hectic schedules while they are in town to
personally seek out Jeremy to express thanks for coordinating the best amateur
basketball event of the year. Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated writes: "The Peach
Jam was my last stop, and, as usual, it was the best event of the summer. Unlike
the scene in Vegas, where coaches will be spending far more time in their rental
cars than in gymnasiums, all the action at the Peach Jam took place in a single
air-conditioned facility, with four games going on simultaneously."
During the months of April through July it is commonplace for Jeremy to work
six to seven days a week without expecting anything in return. Leading up to and
during the Nike tournaments, Jeremy constantly works seventy hour weeks and
synchronizes one of the most publicized events in the City.
The City of North Augusta is indeed fortunate to have such a high caliber,
dedicated employee like Jeremy Jiunnies.
Congratulations to Jeremy Jiunnies, our Employee of the third quarter of 2012.
Jeremy received a plaque, a $25 gift certificate to SMS Sportsworld, and a $25
Wal-Mart gift card.
