This week we are delighted to highlight as our Profile of the Week – Tammy Wright, Clerk of the New Hampshire State Senate.
At the helm of the Senate’s administrative operations, Tammy Wright has been an integral part of the Senate’s functioning for the past more than seventeen years, since 2006. Her role as Clerk is vital in maintaining the Senate’s efficiency and adherence to established rules and responsibilities – as well as the important traditions of the institution.
As Clerk, Tammy plays a multifaceted role in the Senate. She is responsible for managing the Senate’s day-to-day operating functions, including record-keeping, correspondence, and the dissemination of legislative information. Additionally, she serves as the custodian of Senate records, ensuring their accuracy and accessibility for senators and the public alike.
Tammy’s significance to the execution of rules and responsibilities within the Senate cannot be overstated. Her expertise in parliamentary procedures enables her to provide invaluable guidance to senators, facilitating the smooth conduct of legislative proceedings. She assists in the interpretation and application of Senate rules, ensuring that debates and votes adhere to established protocols.
Moreover, Tammy serves as a liaison between senators, legislative staff, and external stakeholders, fostering communication and collaboration within the Senate. Her meticulous attention to detail and commitment to professionalism contribute to the Senate’s reputation for integrity and accountability.
In addition to her dedication and commitment to seeing the duties of the Senate Chamber be executed, Tammy is a certified yoga instructor. As many of you know, I am a firm believer in the synergistic linkage amongst physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and yoga helps holistically on all of these dimensions. By itself, being an instructor of anything is commendable but even more so is that Tammy volunteers her time for First Responders and Veterans - helping them achieve peace of mind and Zen via yoga. Truly admirable!
Tammy Wright’s role as Clerk of the Senate is indispensable to the effective functioning of the New Hampshire State Senate. We are grateful for all her positive contributions to our legislative process and the greater Granite State community.
