Retired Clerks Continue Fellowship
Relationships among clerks of circuit court
continue well beyond the days of managing the day to day operations of
the clerk’s office. Several retired clerks of circuit court continue to
have fellowship and offer support to the clerks of the circuit court.
Below is a photo of some retired clerks who met recently for lunch to
continue the tradition of clerk networking established many years ago.
Sitting: Jim Wood, former Clarke County clerk and
Marvin Sigler, former Shenandoah County clerk.
Standing: Mike
Foreman, former City of Winchester clerk, Bill Hall, former Warren
County, Wayne Harper, former Rockingham County clerk , Freddie Howard,
former Loudoun County clerk.
This group of retired clerks
demonstrates the power of relationships among clerks that continue after
retirement. “Clerks have always had a special bond because we are the
few who really understand and appreciate the value of the services we
provide in Virginia and in our localities,” said Gary Clemens, the
current clerk of the circuit court in Loudoun County. The Virginia Court
Clerks’ Association continues to have the support of these retired
clerks, especially Mike Foreman, who continues to follow the progress of
clerks’ offices in Virginia and lend support by contacting legislators
and other elected officials. To ensure Clerks continue to operate
efficiently and effectively for the citizens, the clerks’ association
will be asking for more support of the clerks’ offices during the 2010
General Assembly session. “The clerks’ association looks forward to
working with Governor-elected McDonnell as he assumes office in January
2010 and we wish him success in leading our great Commonwealth,” says
Vic Mason, the clerk of the circuit court in King George County and
current president of the Virginia Court Clerks’ Association.
The
Virginia Court Clerks’ Association encourages citizens to become more
familiar with the important duties of the clerk of the circuit court by
reviewing the websites of their local clerks or visiting the local
clerk’s office. “Until a citizen buys a house, receives a jury summons,
gets married or experiences the death of a loved one, they probably will
not know much about their local clerk,” stated Clemens. “Clerks of
Circuit Court play an important role in people’s lives and clerks work
very diligently without much fanfare to ensure exceptional services are
provided to the citizens in the Commonwealth of Virginia.”
