City of Statesville honors Long-Time Human Resources Director Mildred Minor
Human Resources Director Mildred Minor is retiring this month following more than 48 years of public service with the City of Statesville. Right out of college, Mildred Minor took a job in 1972 with the City’s Community Development Department as the Assistant Director and worked there until the program was abolished in 1983. That’s when she was hired as the Human Resources Director by then City Manager Dale Emerson. Recently married and anxious to impress her new colleagues at her first department head meeting, Minor nervously introduced herself using her maiden name. “There I was trying to make a good first impression and I couldn’t even get my name right,” Minor recalls.
