Accounts Clerk Betzy McClintock eased Middle Township’s Finance Department through a recent move and staffing changes.   

Cape May Court House, N.J.When her workspace in the Finance Department moved, Betzy McClintock never complained. The accounts clerk also stepped up during staffing transitions by taking on additional responsibilities and training two new workers.

During this time, McClintock also completed her QPA (Qualified Purchasing Agent) classes and is scheduled to take her QPA exam in June. She serves as secretary to the Rent Leveling Board and will be appointed secretary to the Animal Welfare Advisory Council next year.

These are just a few reasons McClintock was named November’s Middle Township Employee of the Month. The honor comes with a presentation during a Township Committee meeting.

“Betzy exemplifies everything you want in a Township employee,” says Committeeman Jim Norris, who oversees the Finance Department. “She has stepped up to the plate and taken on more responsibilities as our Finance Department was shuffled around. She attended and passed her QPA classes under our Township’s continuing education program. She has also volunteered in several of our advisory boards and has been complimented by everyone she works with. Betzy was the perfect choice for this award, and continues to be a major asset to the people of Middle Township.”

McClintock is quick to answer questions and never leaves a task unfinished, her colleagues say. She will celebrate her two-year anniversary in the Finance Department in March.

“When I learned I was going to be Employee of the Month I was just so grateful to be recognized,” says McClintock. “It is always nice to be acknowledged for your work. I am so appreciative to have such thoughtful coworkers.”

Deputy Business Administrator Suzanne Schumann nominated McClintock for this honor, and describes Betzy as being a four-leaf clover, “hard to find, but lucky to have.”  McClintock is known for keeping employee morale high, and volunteers to help with the Township’s special events. Her daughter is a student in the Middle Township School District and participates in community activities.

“I grew up here and have a strong connection and roots in this community,” says McClintock. “It is an honor to be able to work every day behind the scenes to contribute to it in some small way. Middle Township Is home to me and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of such a dedicated and committed team.”
