Andrea Clemmer

Andrea is a lifelong NC resident with an extensive family history in the state. While she was raised in New Bern, and has lived in Davidson County since '88, her lineage traces all the way back to a Revolutionary War general who helped designate the limits of an area that would one day become Raleigh.

Andrea is the Town's HR Director and a resource for all personnel-related matters including benefits, managing our personnel policies, and working to keep the Town competitive with the aggressive labor market so we can retain our great employees and recruit the best.

She ensures that things are running smoothly in the background so that when it comes time for Town employees to use their benefits, everything goes off without a hitch.

This job comes with a number of challenges as federal, state, and local regulations often change. It's up to Andrea to stay on top of the ball, a trial that she makes look effortless.

Andrea attended Appalachian State for her undergraduate education, earning a bachelor's degree in Secondary Education. In 2017, she returned to her alma mater and completed her master's degree in Public Administration.

In addition to being our HR Director, she's also a mom to three great kids; Laura is a 2021 graduate of Western Carolina University and is engaged to be married in December. Simon is a 2019 Yadkin Valley Regional Academy graduate and now serves on active duty at the Fort Polk U.S. Army base in Louisianna. Meredith graduated from West Davidson High School in 2021 and currently attends Davidson Davie Community College.

Sharing these three wonderful kids with Andrea is her husband of 25 years, Andy, who is an Energy United Lineman. They also have two rambunctious pups, Lincoln and Sampson, and two "mousers," Junie and Clover.

When Andrea isn't looking out for our employees' best interests, you can find her combing through a historical fiction novel from the comfort of a beach chair, or exploring the beauty of our state in the family's camper.

Thank you, Andrea, for all you've done for our Town! We sure are lucky to have you.
