Summary
At its Jan. 13 meeting the King and Queen County Board of Supervisors unanimously elected Mark Berry as chair and Carolyn Billups as vice chair for 2025 and appointed Vivian Seay as clerk and Tina Ammons as deputy clerk.
Mark Berry was unanimously elected chair of the King and Queen County Board of Supervisors at the Board’s Jan. 13, 2025 meeting; Carolyn Billups was elected vice chair in a separate, unanimous vote.
The votes came during the Board’s annual organizational actions. M.H. Norman nominated Berry for chair and S.C. Alsop seconded; after no other nominations the Board closed nominations and approved Berry’s appointment. Norman later nominated C.R. Billups for vice chair, seconded by Alsop, and the Board approved that nomination as well.
The Board also appointed Vivian Seay as Clerk of the Board for 2025 and Tina Ammons as Deputy Clerk; both appointments passed unanimously.
The organizational votes were routine and taken by roll call: the meeting record lists S.C. Alsop, J.L. Simpkins, M.R. Berry, M.H. Norman and C.R. Billups voting “Aye” on each appointment, with no “Nay” votes recorded.
Board members used the organizational remarks that followed to outline priorities for the year: newly elected Chair Berry said he looks forward to working with other boards and commissions and intends to focus on the budget and county services. Vice Chair Billups offered an energetic note to the community, stating, "Buckle up, 2025 will be a ride! Let's Go! Let's do It!"
The Board adjourned the meeting at 8:40 P.M.
