In a recent meeting held on December 16, 2024, the Candia Board of Selectmen made a significant decision to honor two outstanding community members as Employees of the Year. Chuck Wicher was recognized for his dedication and effective collaboration with both employees and the public, marking his second consecutive year receiving this accolade.

The board also discussed the merits of two additional candidates, Reggie Hinshaw and Donna Becker, both of whom have made notable contributions to the town. After deliberation, the board decided to award the title to both Hinshaw and Becker, acknowledging their hard work and commitment to the community.

Hinshaw, who is celebrated for his remarkable life experiences, including service in the British Army during World War II, and Becker, who has also dedicated significant time to community service, were both praised for their efforts. The board expressed gratitude for their contributions and plans to prepare a biography for Hinshaw to highlight his achievements.

This decision reflects the board's commitment to recognizing the hard work of individuals who positively impact the Candia community. The recognition of these employees not only honors their past contributions but also sets a precedent for valuing dedication and service within the town.
