He truly has a ‘servant's heart’ and his leadership is admired by many.”
 
Board Vice-Chair Jim Saalfeld indicated that “this is quite an honor for Daryl and a tribute to his leadership among his peers. But it is also an honor for Kent County as an organization as it demonstrates something we already knew - that the County is in good hands and well managed." 

“Daryl has an amazingly effective leadership style that is all his own. He is genuine, empathetic, humble and extremely skilled,” added Steve Heacock, former Kent County Commissioner and former Board Chair. “It is remarkable that he and his staff accomplish so much with so little.”
