City of Gloucester Holiday Gathering
On December 19th, 2025, I attended the annual City of Gloucester staff holiday gathering, hosted by Mayor Greg Verga, to celebrate the people who make our city so special.
As this year comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to thank Val Gilman, Gloucester City Councilor for her 16 years of combined service to the City of Gloucester, MA.
Val has served 10 years on the City Council - 8 years as the Ward 4 Councilor and 2 years as an At-Large Councilor - also serving as City Council President for 2 years and City Council Vice-President for 2 years. In addition, she served 6 years on the School Committee.
Thank you, Val, for your leadership and commitment to our residents leaving a lasting impact on our community.
Wishing you the very best in the new year and best wishes in your retirement from public service!
