Worth County Citizens:
I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to you, the citizens of Worth County, all agencies, local businesses, and the number of employees who have diligently worked with me over the past 38 years. I have been so fortunate to have had an opportunity to serve the county where I was born and grew up in a variety of roles, beginning in January, 1983 as a Deputy Clerk and culminating to my service as Clerk of Superior Court from 2010 to December 31, 2020.
When I reflect on the last 38 years, many moments come to mind. I picture events that will forever be emblematic of the importance, and occasional humor, of my work as the record keeper. Among the most rewarding experiences were the opportunities to train deputy clerk in all fields, initiatives, and strategies to move my Department and County forward and to provide some measure of services to the public and Worth County, while moving Worth County with the latest technology resource available.
I have been fortunate to have worked with many local, state, private and other agencies. From my employees to all agencies, attorneys, court officials, judges, vendors and the entire Tifton Judicial Circuit; there are so many who helped me accomplish our work every day. I extend a heart-felt thank you.
When I was hired, my only goal was to get in there, do my very best and not let Ms. Sarah E. Brooks regret hiring me. A motto I share that is true to my spirit “The best prize that life has to offer is to be given the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” I hope that my efforts have, in some small way, embodied the essence of this statement. Thirty-seven years of history has been made, I’m proud to say being raised by my grandparents, they along with my mom would be so proud of me.
As I close, again I reiterate that I am honored to have been fortunate enough to serve the county where I was born and raised. As I prepare for the final chapter of my career, I am confident that my many years of service as the Clerk of Superior Court of Worth County has spoken well for me. I look forward to enjoying my retirement and whatever God has waiting for me in my next chapter. God bless each of you.
Respectfully,
Brenda W. Hicks
Clerk of Superior Court
Worth County, GA
