News of the North- After nearly three decades of dedicated service, Beth McEwen, the City and Borough of Juneau’s Municipal Clerk, is retiring today. McEwen made the announcement during a city Assembly committee meeting in February.
McEwen began her career with the city in 1997 as a legal secretary in the law department, joining the clerk’s office in 2000. Over the years, she earned notable recognition, including Municipal Employee of the Year (2015) and Municipal Clerk of the Year (2023).
That citation went on to acknowledge McEwen’s extensive knowledge of government and local issues, including the ability to stay deeply informed on a wide variety of topics before the Assembly and the voters and a granular knowledge of meeting procedure. McEwen was also recognized for her dedication to local elections and her personal commitment to ensuring that every CBJ voter has access to voting.
Juneau Mayor Beth Weldon said “Its Beth McEwen’s last official day at the city, she’s been with the city for well over 30 years, we will be saying goodbye to her officially today.”
