Intern Recognition - BOS Meeting - July 22, 2026

The Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on July 22, 2026, primarily to recognize and introduce the interns participating in the county's longstanding internship program. The program, active since the early 1980s, has hosted nearly 400 interns over the years, with many returning as county employees. This year, the county received nearly 800 applications and selected 16 interns who are contributing to various departments including Economic Development, Transportation, the Sheriff's Office, and Juvenile Detention. The interns shared their experiences and projects, such as outreach plans for Hispanic-owned businesses, crash analysis, and tobacco sales education. Board members expressed appreciation for the interns' work and encouraged them to consider future employment with the county. No procurement, contracting, or budget decisions were discussed during this meeting.
