County of Pittsylvania issued the following announcement on Feb. 1
With significant experience in local government leadership and transitions, Clarence Monday was officially installed as the Interim Pittsylvania County Administrator on February 1. Monday has spent more than 30 years working in local governments across Virginia, including a stint as Pittsylvania County's Administrator from 2014-2017 and several interim positions across the Commonwealth over the past few years.
"I am excited to come back to Pittsylvania County to help lead County government during this transition," said Interim County Administrator Clarence Monday. "This part of the State will always feel like home to me, so I'm thrilled to be able to join a quality team to help provide the services that citizens expect."
Monday has worked in leadership positions in local government across the Commonwealth. Some of those positions include the Fire Chief and City Manager for the City of Martinsville, County Administrator for Amherst County, and County Administrator for Pittsylvania County. Since retiring from Pittsylvania County in 2017, Monday has served in an interim role in several localities, including the City of Franklin and the Towns of Appomattox and Altavista. Much of this work, as well as Monday's contract with Pittsylvania County, is through the Berkley Group – a local government consulting firm that provides services in a variety of areas, including administration.
In this new role, Monday's primary goals are to catch up on the County's latest projects and initiatives, meet the staff that have been brought on since his retirement, develop a budget for the upcoming fiscal year, and assist the County in any way that he can in the search for a new County Administrator. The contract with the Berkley Group includes a three-month term with a threemonth renewal option for Monday’s services
“We believe that Clarence Monday’s previous experience leading Pittsylvania County make him the perfect option to serve as our Interim County Administrator,” said Vic Ingram, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. "I am confident that Monday will effectively manage the County's business during this transition period."
During Monday's previous tenure with Pittsylvania County, he oversaw several important initiatives, including the re-establishment of the County's Economic Development Department in late 2015 and the groundbreaking of the Pittsylvania Pet Center. In two moves that have positively impacted Pittsylvania County as a workplace, Monday established a Human Resources Department and commissioned a salary study to ensure that employees were compensated fairly. That study led to the County's pay scale, which remains in effect today. The County's four Middle School parks were developed under Monday's leadership.
Originally from Henry County, Monday has spent the majority of his life in Southside Virginia. Monday holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s in Business Administration from Old Dominion University. In his free time, Monday enjoys running and spending time with his family.
