Jamie Norman

Director of Finance, Horry County, South Carolina 

Jamie Norman advanced from budget analyst to director of finance through dedication and proven leadership. One of her most impactful transformations was designing a budgeting tool that allows county leaders to explore real-time financial scenarios and make informed, data-driven decisions. Assistant County Administrator Shannon Todd highlighted another side: “Jamie also understands the importance of supporting a positive work environment and makes FUN a priority. She regularly introduces small office games to foster collaboration and break up the routine of day-to-day tasks.” Jamie is a graduate of the Horry County Leadership Development Program, the Local Government Leadership Institute, and both levels of the South Carolina Association of Counties’ Institute of Government.
