WHEREAS, It is the intent of the Webster Town Board to recognize the outstanding efforts and

contributions of its citizens; and

WHEREAS, Webster is stronger for the work of the volunteers who have chosen to serve their

community by serving on the Boards that oversee and govern the Town’s operations; and

WHEREAS, Amy was appointed to the Library Board by the Town in 2014. She assisted with

the renovation project which completely transformed the library, while also helping to reimagine

the children’s area, which children and families enjoy to this day; and

WHEREAS, Amy accepted the role of President of the Library Board in 2021, assuming a

leadership role in the midst of a pandemic. Under Amy’s leadership the library transitioned from

one retiring director with the selection of the next with exemplary professionalism. Amy has

helped recruit excellent new board members. During her presidency, she also oversaw the

transition for the library going fine free; and

WHEREAS, Amy embodies the spirit of volunteerism and servant-leadership. The Town of

Webster is better for Amy’s contributions, and she leaves the library in a stronger position. Amy

will be missed for all of these things, but especially her quiet, professional, and collegial
