Merton Brown was nominated for the Lighthouse Award by Deputy Town Clerk Katrina Boyer and received the award at the MTCCA annual conference on September 15th. You can view the nomination letter below.

According to MTCCA, the Lighthouse Award is an honor bestowed on a Maine Municipal Clerk who has been a beacon or light during the year. Lighthouse Clerks are critical for the MTCCA organization and watch out for any rocks or weather which may sink the ship. They are often a pioneer but stand steadfast in the Maine Statute and foundational teachings. Their approach is innovative to get the job done. This Clerk is often sought out by the Executive Board and membership for feedback, offering valuable insight and keeping the MTCCA organization on course. This Clerk may have also come up with a solution to a challenging issue or kept calm during a municipal event, state administration / legislative change, and or national event.

Congratulations Merton, and thank you for your dedication and service to the Town of Kennebunk!
