WAGRAM — The mayor of Wagram announced Thursday that Anne Locklear will take over the reins as the town’s new clerk.
Locklear was present at the meeting and shadowed former town clerk Phyllis Lowery, who returned from retirement to serve in the interim role of clerk following Roosevelt Henegan’s termination in June.
“I know that our interim clerk is glad to see you,” Wagram Mayor Barbara Pierce told Locklear on Thursday.
The Lumber River Council of Governments assisted with the clerk search process. Pierce said that the interviews were conducted on Sept. 16. The interviewing team consisted of Pierce, Lowery and Commissioner Lori Reynolds.
“Checking her resume, she met the qualifications the interview team was looking for. We had a rating sheet. No one read anyone’s rating sheet and we all came out with the same rating so that says something about her interview,” Pierce said. “We’re just glad to have you. Scotland County will hate to lose you.”
Locklear most recently served as the lead library tech at the Scotland County Memorial Library.
