This resolution honors Martha Sauerbrey upon her retirement after 20 years of dedicated service to the Tioga County Legislature. The resolution highlights her lifelong commitment to Tioga County, beginning with her work for New York State Senator Tom Libous, where she served as his "eyes and ears" for the county. She then spent 15 years at the Tioga County Chamber of Commerce, supporting local citizens and businesses. Subsequently, Sauerbrey was elected to represent Tioga County's 2nd district for 20 years, serving as chairwoman for 12 of those years, during which she managed daily operations, kept taxes low, supported veterans, developed a county administrator role, and initiated a new radio system for first responders. Beyond her official duties, she co-founded Tioga Women Lead and the Institute for Advancement, chaired a Shared Services Program, redeveloped the Anti-Drug Coalition, and participated in the Downtown Revitalization Initiative, while also serving on various boards. Despite facing challenges like historic floods and the pandemic, she remained dedicated to her community's recovery. Recognized as a "Mover and Shaker" in 2017, Sauerbrey is celebrated for her loyal, honorable, and distinguished service, demonstrating a keen understanding of human problems. She plans to travel and spend time with her family in retirement but intends to remain involved in her community. The resolution concludes by directing that a copy of this resolution be sent to Martha Sauerbrey.
