                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, December 2, 2022

  Mr. HUDSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Catherine Graham for 
8 years of service as Moore County Commissioner and a lifetime of 
public service to our community.
  Prior to being elected to the Moore County Board of Commissioners, 
Commissioner Graham served as the Clerk of Superior Court for 15 years. 
Her success in this position allowed her to be elected President of the 
North Carolina Clerk of Courts. She later served as a member of the 
Board of Commissions for the Town of Carthage and a member of the Board 
of Trustees for Sandhills Community College. In 2014, Commissioner 
Graham was elected to hold Moore County's District I seat as a member 
of the Board of Commissioners. She is only the fourth woman to ever 
serve on the board, and in perhaps her most noteworthy achievement, she 
became the first female elected Chairman of the Board of Commissioners 
in 2016. She was reelected to the board in 2018 and currently serves on 
the Social Services Board and the Sandhills Center Board of Directors 
in addition to many other local leadership councils.
  Commissioner Graham will retire from her current position as Vice 
Chair of the Moore County Board of Commissioners at the end of the 
year. Over the course of her career, she has demonstrated the highest 
level of commitment to her community. Through her hard work and 
leadership, she has served as a trailblazer for all women in public 
service. I join our entire community in gratitude as we honor her 
extraordinary career,
  Madam Speaker, please join me today in honoring Commissioner 
Catherine Graham for her career of exemplary servitude to her 
community.
