Lisa Cherry
Lisa Cherry started with the County in 1987 as a temporary file clerk in the Code Enforcement
Office. She was promoted from the temporary position to a Clerk Typist position still within the
Code Enforcement Office. The next two promotions took her from Code Enforcement to
Employee Benefits and from there to the Office of Management & Budgets.
In 1990, she applied for and received a promotion into the Purchasing Office as an Office
Assistant. She has progressed steadily in the Purchasing Department. She is currently the
Supervisor of Purchasing. She supervises two employees and also has the responsibility of the
County's Courier system.
The Purchasing Office handles many items to assist all sections of County Government. To
name only a sampling of the items they handle, they conducted 66 bid openings, reviewed 53
contracts for purchasing compliance, contacted nearly 1400 vendors with bid information and
issued nearly 9000 purchase orders during last fiscal year. The ease with which they handled
the volume of work flowing through the Purchasing Section, assists all sections of County
Government.
Lisa Cherry's dedication to her job is an asset to Management Services and to the Citizens of
Monroe County.
