From Village President Sheena Collum via Facebook on December 9, 2021:

I have absolutely the most amazing news to share. Meet Ms. Ojetti Davis known to all of us as just “Jetti” but pronounced “Jet-ah”. She is our extraordinary Acting Village Clerk who learned today she passed the Registered Municipal Clerks (RMC) exam!!! ❤️🙌❤️👏❤️ This means we’re gonna get rid of that acting title stat. She’s our clerk!!!

Ojetti Davis and Sheena Collum

Back story. I met Jetti a long time ago, well before I was ever elected to office. She was quiet but fierce, professional but so kind, and one of the hardest working women who seemed to have everyone’s respect. She served as a secretary in the South Orange Building Department for 7 years and then moved on to serve for 8 years as a secretary in our Zoning Office where she was also responsible for our statutory land use boards.

About 4 years ago during my first term as Village President, I had enough watching this absolutely phenomenal woman who I admired and respected so much remain in positions that I felt didn’t even begin to scratch the surface of her talent, expertise, and dedication to our special community. At an employee holiday party, I told Jetti she needed to take the Clerk’s exam. She was so humble… For those of you who may not know, the Municipal Clerk in New Jersey is a very prestigious and powerful position in local government. It’s right up there next to city managers and business administrators.

Fast forward, my colleagues and I appointed Jetti to Acting Municipal Clerk about a year and a half ago. Not surprisingly, she continued to be an absolute rockstar – learning new statutory responsibilities, working collaboratively with me, the administration, Board of Trustees, municipal departments and most importantly, our community and volunteers who adore her.

Today is special – really, really special. I feel so lucky but really, you should too.

Cheers and so much love to Ms. Ojetti Davis, our Registered Municipal Clerk!
