Douglas County Pathway of Service
About
It takes a special person to choose public service as an occupation, a career, and an obligation, out of the good of their heart and desire to be of service to their fellow man. To recognize this dedication to others, the Pathway of Service was created by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners.
The Pathway of Service consists of engraved bricks that lead from the Eternal Flame towards the front door of the Douglas County Courthouse. Inductees into the Pathway of Service have their names permanently engraved in the bricks.
The Pathway of Service (JPG) is the highest accolade Douglas County citizens can bestow on a citizen who has spent his/her life in service to others.
