Betsy Moukawsher, currently our town chair, has announced her candidacy to succeed Barbara Tarbox as Town Clerk. Betsy’s Press Release:
Betsy Moukawsher a Candidate for ClerkRTM Member and Democratic Chair Promises Continuity
Promising to carry on the job’s tradition of integrity and professionalism, Groton resident Betsy Moukawsher announced today that she will run for the Town Clerk position being vacated by 24-year veteran Barbara Tarbox. The Town Committee will formally nominate in July and the election is November 3rd, 2009.
Moukawsher, 47, is currently a member of the Representative Town Meeting and serves as Chairman of the Democratic Party. She said that in both her roles she has tried to put the interests of the Town first and would do so again as Town Clerk. “This job is one of the most respected in the Town because people have come to expect hard work and integrity from the Town Clerk. No one can do the job the way Barbara Tarbox did it, but I would like to be given the chance to follow her example.”
Moukawsher said the job includes overseeing the department that maintains the Town’s vital records, keeping accurate minutes of Town meetings, and helping to ensure that elections are run smoothly and honestly. Moukawsher, who has worked as a contract change analyst at Electric Boat, a human resources manager, and as co-owner-manager of a coffee business with 22 employees, said she will bring useful experience to the job: “I know what it’s like to deal with important documents, to work with a budget and, most important, to work with people. I think my job experience and my involvement with public concerns in Groton have been a good preparation to be Town Clerk.”
Moukawsher has four children and his married to Attorney Thomas G. Moukawsher.
