This week Village Clerk, Jo-Ann Rome, will be retiring. I want to take a moment to say thank you for her remarkable work during her 15 years of service to the Village of Warwick. Jo has worn many hats beyond the daily activities of the Clerk’s Office. These included Receiver of Taxes, Office Staff Liaison, Risk Management, Records Management, Overseer of Elections, Website Administrator, fact checker, arbitrator and confidential secretary to the Mayor. She has been a leader and a committed member to the team at Village Hall whose commitment is to the residents of our Village. On behalf of the Village Board and as a representative of the good people of our community I would like to say “thank you” and wish you all the best n your retirement.
I would also like to welcome Raina Abramson to her new position as Village Clerk. Raina has been working at Village Hall for two years and has worked in almost every department. Over the past six months she has been preparing for her new role. Jo-Ann has given her valuable training that will make the transition as seamless as possible. We are very pleased to have Raina as our new Village Clerk.
