Way to go Karen!
Your Great KAY!!! Its good that once in a while that people "behind the scenes" that are the ones making things happen, get some credit.
Wow!! This is great news!! Karen is a tireless advocate for traffic safety, not only in Wicomico County, but in Somerset and Worcester Counties as well. She often goes above and beyond the call of duty to increase public awareness of important traffic safety issues, while working toward the goal of decreasing traffic related injuries and fatalities. Karen has a true passion for highway safety and works hard to provide valuable resources for law enforcement and educators, in addition to health care providers. I'm so happy to hear that her hard work is being rewarded with such an award. You truly deserve it Karen, thanks for all you do!!
