At the meeting on Wednesday, February 5th, 2020, Commissioner Greg Jones received an award in recognition of 10 years as an Outstanding Volunteer for the City of Medford. Greg's service to Medford Water Commission began in 2018, but his volunteerism in our community began long before that.

Greg is a former Parks and Recreation Director for City of Medford, and after his retirement in 2003, he served on the City Council for over 8 years. He currently sits on several City commissions/committees.
