Newly sworn members take oaths for Wythe County board
At a short swearing-in ceremony, six individuals took the oath of office to serve Wythe County, affirming their commitment to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The Honorable Saez Showalter presided and opened the proceedings, instructing attendees to be silent before the oath sequence began. "Silence is commanded," the presiding official said, establishing the formal tone for the ceremony.

Anthony Archon repeated the oath and pledged "to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia" and to "faithfully and impartially discharge the duties" of his office. Pamela S. Blair, Peggy A. Waggie, Sarah P. Crockett, Jesse R. Vernon and Bradley D. Martin followed, each repeating substantially identical language drawn from the standard oath of office. After each oath the officiant offered brief congratulations.

The transcript includes momentary repetition and some inconsistent wording (for example, one line reads "school board" and another reads "Wyndham County"); this article uses the verified local designation, Wythe County, for clarity and consistency. There were no motions, votes, appointments, or other formal actions taken during the ceremony.

The ceremony concluded with brief closing remarks and a seasonal greeting from the officiant. No further county business was conducted as part of this event.
