Commissioner Betsy Condon was initially elected in November 2020 to fill a vacant seat as District 4 Commissioner and was reelected in November 2022. She earned her Certified County Commissioner designation in 2021 and Advanced County Commissioner designation in June 2022 from the Florida Association of Counties.

Commissioner Condon serves on the North Florida Transportation Planning Organization, the Northeast Florida Regional Council’s Personnel Budget & Finance Policy Committee and Board of Directors, the Small County Coalition, and the Small Business Development Council Advisory Board. She was also recently appointed Chair of the Florida Association of Counties Agriculture & Rural Affairs (ARA) Committee and serves on the Finance, Tax, and Administration Committee and Water and Environment Sustainability Committee, as well as on the President’s Select Committee on Property Taxes.

Condon is a native of Keystone Heights, a wife, a mother, and a business owner. She is the proud mother of an Army veteran. She graduated from Keystone Heights Jr./Sr. High School and earned a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Health Science from the University of Georgia.

After graduating from the University of Georgia, Condon began her career as an environmental specialist with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA). Her primary concentration involved environmental and safety compliance projects, including oil and water separation systems, groundwater contamination monitoring, monitoring well management, and environmental prevention programs. One of the most significant projects she worked on at MARTA involved identifying safety equipment in preparation for the 1996 Olympic Games hosted in Atlanta.

Condon later worked as an environmental specialist for Energizer Power Systems, managing environmental compliance programs including EPA RCRA compliance, hazardous waste management and disposal, groundwater contamination monitoring programs for more than 200 monitoring wells, and state and local environmental compliance.

In 1998, she accepted the position of Environment & Safety Coordinator at Moltech Power Systems Ltd. In this role, Condon managed environmental compliance systems including the EPA RCRA program, groundwater monitoring programs, hazardous waste management and disposal, and state environmental compliance requirements.

Her successful career in environmental compliance and safety eventually led her to become Director of Environmental Health & Safety at Regeneration Technologies, Inc. While at RTI, Condon managed environmental and safety compliance within the $200 million medical device manufacturing company, wrote compliance manuals and training plans, implemented corporate safety goals, and achieved more than one million hours worked without a lost-time accident. She was named the 2006 Compliance Magazine Safety Director of the Year.

After leaving corporate life to focus on raising her children, she and her husband returned to Keystone Heights where they raised the remainder of their combined family and built a successful medical device manufacturing consulting business.

In addition to her environmental work, Condon has been active in community service. She was elected to the Clay County School Board representing District 3 from 2014 to 2018 and helped lead Clay County District Schools from being ranked 20th in Florida to 8th in the state. She is a Past President of the Keystone Heights Rotary Club, an active member of Keystone Methodist Church, a member of the Capital City Bank Community Board, and a member of the National Rifle Association.

After working for 15 years in environmental compliance, Condon understands Clay County’s water, drainage, and flooding issues and how development impacts them. She is passionate about responsible growth and development in District 4 while ensuring the County uses resources wisely and responsibly.

Condon believes infrastructure planning and implementation are among the County’s most important priorities.

“First and foremost, ensuring all of Clay County has access to reliable and affordable high-speed internet must be a priority with so many residents working and attending school from home. Beyond that, road planning, sidewalks, drainage, paving, traffic flow, protection of natural resources, and careful approval of new development are vital to ensuring Clay County remains the great place we all love for generations to come.” — Commissioner Betsy Condon
