During their Dec. 15 regular meeting, the Board of Commissioners recognized Commissioner Molly Cooper for her dedicated service, leadership and performance of all the duties incumbent upon her.

Cooper began her service with Forsyth County after being elected in 2018 to serve as the District 1 Commissioner for the 2019-2022 term. She was also elected by her peers on the Board of Commissioners to serve as Secretary in 2020, and as Vice Chairwoman in 2021 as well as 2022.

During her term as District 1 Commissioner, Cooper has served Forsyth County with professionalism, integrity, humility and compassion while, during most of her term, fighting Pancreatic Cancer after a July 2021 diagnosis. Her ability to keep the business of her district and the County as a priority during a trying time has demonstrated her care for her community, commitment to the responsibility of commissioner and her incredibly strong will to see the job through.

The Board extends their appreciation and gratitude to her for all she has accomplished in her tenure at Forsyth County and wishes her well in her next endeavors.
