town clerk

PUTNAM — The Town of Putnam made it official this week, hiring Scotland Town Clerk Christine Bright to be Putnam’s new town clerk.
The hiring follows a circuitous process with the job posted as a part-time, possibly full time position and then posted later as a full-time position.
Bright replaces Sara Seney who served as town clerk for 26 years. Before that Seney at the Thompson Town Hall prior to Putnam.
Putnam brings a special challenge as it is a “hospital town” and the Putnam Town Clerk is responsible for birth and death records, in addition to the other town clerk duties. She's due to start in mid-September.
According to online information about Bright, she is a Certified Connecticut Town Clerk and has served as the town clerk for the Town of Scotland from April 2018 through the present. She is also Scotland's assistant tax collector. From November 2014 through August 2017, she worked as a real estate paralegal for Chinigo, Leone and Maruzo LLP in the New London-Norwich area. Prior to that, from March 2009 to November 2014, she worked as a paralegal for Anna Zubkova, attorney at law. She lives in Canterbury.
