Meet the new Bookkeeper Nina Thompson has joined the Town of Ulysses as the new bookkeeper--a pivotal position intersecting all departments. As a native to the region, Nina recently returned after 15 years in the Pacific Northwest. Her background is in non-profit and educational financial management. She reports that she is thrilled to join the town team and is looking forward to serving the local community. Outside of work Nina enjoys snow sports in the winter (you will not hear her complain about 2 feet of snow), water sports in the summer, knitting, reading, cooking and has been known to read cookbooks cover to cover. We wish our former bookkeeper, Michelle Wright, good luck at her new endeavor, and thank her for all she has done for the town over the years.
