U.S. Attorney Honors Brenda Miller with Distinguished Service Award

WHEELING, WEST VIRGINIA - U.S. Attorney Matthew L. Harvey has presented Ohio County Circuit Clerk Brenda Miller with the "Distinguished Service Award" in recognition of her decades of dedication to Ohio County and the State of West Virginia.

"Brenda has dedicated her career to public service and has given much of her time and talents to the judicial system as Ohio County Circuit Clerk," said U.S. Attorney Matthew L. Harvey. "I am honored to present her this award, and I am grateful to call her a colleague and a friend."

Miller will retire later this year after 28 years as Circuit Clerk. Throughout her tenure, she has earned a reputation for leadership, professionalism, and a deep commitment to strengthening the administration of justice in West Virginia.

She has served on numerous statewide committees, including the State Elections Committee and the Legislative Committee. The West Virginia Supreme Court has also appointed her to several key groups, such as the Circuit Court Liaison Committee-where she represents the nine Northern Panhandle counties-the Regional Fatality Review Board, where she has served for more than 15 years, and the Access to Justice Committee, where she is one of only two circuit clerks selected statewide.

Miller also served as President of the West Virginia Association of Counties from 2015 to 2016, representing 444 county-elected officials, including circuit clerks, county clerks, assessors, prosecutors, sheriffs, and county commissioners.

U.S. Attorney Harvey presented the award during the annual West Virginia Association of Counties dinner at Oglebay's Wilson Lodge.
