Mayor Donna Deegan and City Council Member Rahman Johnson are pleased to announce the renaming of the Mayor's Conference Room in honor of Mrs. Naomi T. Glover, who dedicated her life to serving the City of Jacksonville. Naomi Tillman Glover was the quiet power behind the throne during the infancy of the City of Jacksonville. As the former Director of First Impressions (Receptionist) for the Mayor’s Office, her gentle yet stern smile and knowledge were unparalleled in city government. Glover was the welcoming face and guiding hand for countless mayors, city officials, and visitors to City Hall for decades. Her exceptional service and deep-rooted connection to the Jacksonville community made her a beloved and respected figure in the history of Jacksonville. After more than two decades of service, she retired from the city in 2002. In 2003, she passed away. "Mrs. Naomi was an integral part of Jacksonville's heart and soul," said Mayor Donna Deegan. "Her unwavering dedication to our city and its people was truly remarkable. It is only fitting that we honor her legacy by renaming the Mayor's Conference Room for her, ensuring that her contributions are remembered for generations to come." Council Member Johnson added, "Mrs. Glover's kindness, professionalism, and commitment have left an indelible mark on me and the entire City of Jacksonville. This dedication is a small token of our immense gratitude for her many years of service. Her legacy continues to inspire us all." The renaming ceremony will feature remarks from Mayor Deegan, Council Member Johnson, and other notable city officials who have worked closely with Mrs. Glover over the years. Friends, family, and members of the public are invited to join in this special occasion to celebrate and honor the life and contributions of Mrs. Naomi T. Glover.
