Chief Clerk Charles Small honored Caribbean-American Heritage Month celebration
BP Eric Adams praises Small for positive impact on the community
For 14 years, the Office of the Borough President has celebrated Caribbean-American Heritage Month and current Beep Eric Adams continued that tradition last Thursday and celebrated the court’s top non-judicial employee while he was at it.
Chief Clerk of the Brooklyn Supreme Court, Civil Term, Charles Small was presented with a citation on behalf of the Borough President’s Office. A spokesperson for the borough president explained that Small was honored for the positive impact he has had on community members and his efforts leading the Kings County Supreme Court.
“Borough President Adams applauds him for being appointed to the New York State Unified Court System in 1991 and for being the first minority appointed as chief clerk for civil matters in Kings County Supreme Court in December 2010,” said Sandra Chapman, chief program officer for the Office of the Borough President.
Chapman also explained that Small showed tremendous leadership when he stepped in for nine months as acting chief clerk of the Supreme Court, Criminal Term in 2017 and 2018.
