Marie Murphy to Leave County Officials Association of Tennessee

At the end of this month, Marie Murphy will be stepping down at the executive director of the County Official's Association of Tennessee after serving in that capacity for 16 years. Marie began her indispensable public service in 1984 working for the University of Tennessee County Technical Assistance Service as a Staff Attorney. In 1992, she became the first Executive Director of the County Officials Association of Tennessee. Working for that organization which represents court clerks, trustees, registers of deeds and county clerks, she demonstrated an unsurpassed work ethic, breadth of knowledge and professionalism while advocating on behalf of the county offices she represented. Marie was instrumental in helping develop and promote many legislative reforms that made those offices more efficient and effective. Her efforts are greatly appreciated and will be missed.
