After 17-plus years, City Clerk Brenda J. Colegrove has announced her retirement from the City of Salisbury effective March 1, 2012.
Mrs. Colegrove was appointed to the city clerk position by the City Council in September 1994 and has served in this capacity with 24 council members during her tenure. She is a member of the Maryland Municipal Clerks Association, previously serving as treasurer and secretary, and a member of the International Institute of Municipal Clerks. Mrs. Colegrove received her Certified Municipal Clerk designation in 2001 and the Master Municipal Clerk designation in 2008. In 2005, she was the recipient of the Maryland Municipal Clerk of the Year Award.
City Council President Terry Cohen responded to the announcement by saying, "Brenda Colegrove has been exemplary in her service to the City and the people of Salisbury. I know everyone will miss her professionalism, diligence and grace. We are grateful that she has stayed on long past her original planned retirement date and look forward to scheduling an event with which to honor her."
In sharing the news, Mrs. Colegrove said, "It has been my pleasure to serve as the city clerk for the City of Salisbury. While I look forward to enjoying my retirement, I will miss the officials and employees that I have had the opportunity to work with over the years. As I close the door of my office on February 29, 2012, a new journey begins – one I am looking forward to with anticipation."
Thanks for the service. Always had the answers when I called.
ReplyDeleteBrenda was always sharp as a tack. I'm glad she will be able to enjoy retirement, however the city is losing a great employee. I'm sure her job came with great stresses but she was always positive.
ReplyDeleteI have been in her office. With all she had going on everything had a place, and everything was in it's place too. Neet as a pin.
Congratulations Brenda!
Best Wishes, Brenda, and thanks for your great service to the public under very difficult circumstances.
ReplyDeleteThe fat a$$ on the other blog said she quit because of Debbie and Terry.
ReplyDeleteIf Fat Ass ever got off his ass he'd come to learn Brenda has been discussing this for 2 years. But he wouldn't know because nobody likes him.
ReplyDeleteBrenda Colgrove is the consummate professional. I've observed her in a number of different venues, particularly at City Council meetings. So often the Council members have to defer to her for answers, and always she has them. Hers will be very difficult shoes to fill for sure.

ReplyDeleteHow about doing an off the record expose of Barrie Tilghman episodes related bt Ms. C.
I worked with Brenda before her service to the City of Salisbury when she worked at Second National FSB. She always has been not only incredibly professional and proficient, but also a warm hearted, lovely person. Congrats Brenda!
