The Flagler County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller’s Office announced a series of honors received during the Florida Clerks of Court and Comptrollers (FCCC) Summer Conference, reflecting the work and statewide leadership of both Clerk Tom Bexley and members of the office’s Finance team.
At the conference luncheon, Bexley was presented with the Best Practices Excellence Award, recognizing the office’s commitment to innovation, continuous improvement, and delivering high-quality service to Flagler County residents. This award highlights the office’s ongoing efforts to strengthen financial transparency, operational efficiency, and public trust.
Later that evening, Bexley was formally installed on the 2026-2027 FCCC Board of Directors, where he will continue to advocate for strong governance, collaboration, and the essential work performed by Florida’s Clerks and Comptrollers. He was also honored with the Hookah Dive Team Member Award, celebrating his dedication to teamwork and his contributions to the statewide Clerk community.
In addition to Bexley’s recognitions, two members of the Flagler County Finance Department, Jennifer Ritter and Nora McCall, were awarded Clerk Staff of the Year. This honor was presented in recognition of their work assisting the Calhoun County Clerk of Court and Comptroller’s Office with establishing its Tyler Munis ERP financial configuration. Their expertise, professionalism, and willingness to support a fellow clerk’s office exemplify the collaborative spirit that strengthens Florida’s Clerk mission.
“These recognitions reflect the dedication of our entire team,” Bexley said. “I am incredibly proud of Jennifer and Nora for their outstanding service, and I am honored to represent Flagler County on the FCCC Board. Our office remains committed to serving the public with integrity, innovation, and excellence.”
The Flagler County Clerk of Court and Comptroller’s Office extends its appreciation to the FCCC and to the statewide Clerk community for their continued partnership and support.
Do the job says
Every day in the ER, I hold someone’s life in my hands. I get to do what most people only dream about — I actually save lives. And there is nothing more noble on this earth.
I don’t do it for applause. I don’t want medals, headlines, or anyone’s praise. I show up because the work matters, and then I go home.
Government is different. It doesn’t just want to exist — it needs to grow. It feeds on attention. It survives by convincing you that you cannot live without it, that only it can protect you, provide for you, and save you from yourself. While it tells that story over and over, it quietly takes everything you have.
One saves lives in silence.
The other demands the spotlight while it picks your pocket. Bravo Clerk of Court people for just doing your job.

“Do the job says”….Your humble approach to life is quite admirable. I wold like to share a different perspective.
I have the privilege of being a people leader in a large corporation. We embrace a servant leadership approach from the top of the corporation down. Servant leadership is an approach that prioritizes serving, empowering, and supporting others so they can grow, succeed, and contribute effectively toward shared goals. One key element of that is promoting, recognizing and amplifying the good work of others. Or as I like to say – I am my team’s biggest cheerleader.
An analogy to your ER – who justifies whether an ER even exists? There are finite resources in the world and the sad reality is society has to put the dollar value on a life and society has to determine whether to go spend that money or not. Go to rural America and try and find medical help let alone an ER / trauma center. In part because no one promoted it or if they did they failed to convince the decision makers that the juice was worth the squeeze.
So I am not a fan of the clerk of the court based on his recent nepotism like hiring practices, but kudos to him for promoting his team.

This can’t possibly be the same court system that sheriff Staley said is responsible for sending sexual offenders to camp on private property, without permission,at Cody’s Corner store could it ??
Injustice says
The sheriff office approved this address to send these convicted felons to camp.
Courts, probation & the sheriffs office created this fiasco in an “out of sight out of mind ” mentality
Equal responsibility for all 3 departments
