Ms. Offermann began her career with the County on October 15, 2013 as an Office Coordinator for General Services Fleet Operations. Ms. Offermann is an integral part of the Fleet Division. During her over 5 years tenure with General Services, Ms. Offermann has amassed significant institutional knowledge while assisting the Fleet Manager in day to day operations. She uses this knowledge to provide creative, and innovative solutions to support Fleet operations and its customers. Ms. Offermann assists the Fleet Division with various fiscal tasks such as budget preparation, invoice processing, and pool vehicle and fuel card billing.
