County Public Information Director Called to Active Duty

Bucks County Public Information Director
Stacey Martin will soon receive orders
bringing the 14-year Army Reservist onto temporary active duty. Martin, a captain, will be mobilized to Fort Dix, New Jersey where she will conduct leadership training for units deploying in support of the nation's Global War on Terrorism.

From January 2003 to February 2004, she served a 15-month tour of duty in Kuwait and Iraq as a military police company commander, and as a result, has been selected to prepare other commanders and key leaders for a successful tour.

Chief Operating Officer David Sanko announced today that Patricia Wandling, deputy director, will step into the position as acting director during Martin's absence, beginning on June 13. The department will continue its role of meeting the information needs of employees and the public.

Sanko emphasized the county's support for Martin and all Reservists who add richness to the workforce through their military experiences. "We are proud of Stacey and look forward to her return sometime early next year."
