PINSON — The Alabama Association of Municipal Clerks and Administrators (AAMCA) recently awarded its “Clerk of the Year” designation to Pinson City Clerk Marie Turner.
Clerks are nominated for this award by their peers and are evaluated in five major categories, including years of service, additional duties performed and accomplishments, contributions to the community, and service to the state and international clerk associations.
Turner has served as city clerk for more than 14 years. In addition to her customary duties as clerk, she serves on the finance committee, planning and zoning commission, board of zoning adjustments, and also performs human resource duties.
She has also been very active in the state and international clerk’s associations. Turner served as treasurer, secretary, president-elect and president of the AAMCA, as well as committees and district leadership positions. She was host clerk for the International Institute of Municipal Clerks Region III Conference, which was held in Birmingham in 2017.
Her community work includes PTA, Boy Scouts, the annual Christmas parade, the Alabama Butterbean Festival, and fund-raising drive for Multiple Sclerosis.
