RECOGNIZING SARAH LUMPKIN
______
HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER
of georgia
in the house of representatives
Thursday, February 11, 2021
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing public servant.
The City Clerk of Hinesville, Sarah Lumpkin, is retiring after over 3 decades of service in local government.
Sarah began her career with the City of Hinesville when she joined the City team as an Accounts Payable Clerk and rose to the rank of Assistant City Clerk by 1991.
Throughout her career, she accumulated a long list of awards and accomplishments including being named the first recipient of the Hinesville City Hall Employee of the Year Award in 1994 and being designated ``Certified Municipal Clerk'' by the International Institute of Municipal Clerks in 1996.
She took her leadership skills to new heights when she served as President of the Georgia Municipal Clerks and Finance Officer's Association of the State of Georgia from 2006 to 2007. Sarah's guidance and expertise throughout her career paved the way for tremendous growth and success for the city of Hinesville, and I am very grateful for all she accomplished.
I wish her the best of luck as she begins her retirement.
