The awards recognise civic officers across the country who have shown a dedicated and particular commitment to their role all year round.
The Mayor of Charnwood, Jennifer Tillotson, said:
“I would like to congratulate Carol on getting this award. It is greatly deserved for all of her hard work.”
“The role of the Mayor is to represent the borough at a local, regional and national level and a large part of being Mayor is to go out into our local communities to recognise some of the fantastic work being carried out by residents and organisations.
“The Mayor simply could not carry out these duties without a committed and dedicated civic office.”
The civic officer supports the Mayor of Charnwood during their year of office including planning diaries, assisting with planning events and accompanying the Mayor and Deputy Mayor to events.
Carol has been a civic officer at the Council for 27 years and has worked at the Council for 38 years.
Carol said: “It’s always nice to be recognised for the work you are doing and it is particularly pleasing to receive this highly commended award from the National Association of Civic Officers.
“I thoroughly enjoy supporting the Mayor throughout the year in their duties as the borough’s first citizen.”
