“Lorraine has been a delight to work with,” said Blacksburg Mayor Leslie Hager-Smith. “As she steps into this new role, I look forward to the contributions she is sure to make.”
“I’m grateful and humbled by this opportunity to serve the mayor, the town council and the citizens of Blacksburg,” said Spaulding. “I am fortunate to have spent the past three years working for such a wonderful organization and am honored to accept the position of town clerk.“
