Crawford recognized as part of Municipal Clerks Week
Chances are, if you’ve been to Cedartown City Hall for whatever reason, you’ve seen or spoken with City Clerk Carol Crawford.
Cedartown recently joined other cities across the nation to recognize and congratulate city clerks — but they wanted to give a little extra attention to one of their own. They presented Crawford with a special plaque commemorating the Municipal Clerks Week official proclamation.
City Commissioner Dale Tuck read the proclamation and City Manager Bill Fann presented Crawford with the plaque.
Crawford was hired full time as secretary to the city manager 23 years ago and has been working at Cedartown City Hall ever since. She serves as secretary to the City Commission on an as-needed basis, but also takes care of a wide variety of administrative duties and is often called upon to offer management support to the City Manager and Commission. She also serves on various boards and commissions as appointed.
“As the secretary to the City Commission, the official custodian of all city records, and the department manager to administrative employees, Carol has her hands full but she always maintains a positive attitude. That makes her a great mentor for young employees,” said City Manager Bill Fann. “The City Commissioners love Carol because she is so efficient in handling their scheduling and she is very highly regarded among her peers. She is the hub of the organization as a good City Clerk should be.”
She and her husband, Jim, live in Cedartown. She has two daughters, one step-daughter and one step-son.
