Offered by: Representatives Masland of Thetford and Holcombe of Norwich Offered by: Senators MacDonald, Clarkson, McCormack, and White Whereas, in 2003, when Tracy Borst’s youngest child was approaching school age and Tracy was contemplating returning to the workforce, a friend suggested that she stand for election as Thetford Town Clerk, and she wisely followed this advice, and Whereas, her enthusiasm for the post was immediately apparent, and she pursued the educational opportunities that the Vermont Municipal Clerks’ and Treasurers’ Association
(VMCTA) offered, becoming a Certified Municipal Clerk in 2004, and in 2020, through the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, she earned the profession’s highest certification, Master Municipal Clerk, and Whereas, her VMCTA colleagues recognized her skill, and she chaired the organization’s education committee, served on its executive committee, and in 2021–2022
was the outstanding VMCTA president, and Whereas, for the past two decades, Tracy Borst has been a consistent presence in the Thetford municipal government and has offered invaluable guidance and support to
selectboard members and the town manager, and she is the community’s unofficial central information resource, and Whereas, in 2018, Tracy Borst assumed the additional role of Thetford Town Treasurer,
and in 2021, she earned VMCTA’s Vermont Treasurer certification and continued forward toward the more advanced treasurer’s certification, and Whereas, Tracy Borst is an exemplary municipal official who sets the gold standard for her peers across the State, now therefore be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives:
That the General Assembly congratulates Thetford Town Clerk and Treasurer Tracy Borst as the first Vermont and New England recipient of the International Institute of
Municipal Clerks’ Institute Directors Award of Excellence, and be it further Resolved: That the Secretary of State be directed to send a copy of this resolution to
