Augusta County Treasurer Jackie Nash retired on Dec. 27 after more than 25 years of service to the county.
Nash took on the Treasurer’s role in March 2023, replacing Richard Homes who stepped down due to medical issues.
“I am looking forward to simply having time,” Nash said. “No plans yet but just time. Change can be about a nudge in a direction that you may not have chosen for yourself but it puts you on another path for your next chapter to begin. I like to believe the truth in that.”
Her interests include yoga, cooking and weaving. She also plans to continue her volunteer work in the community.
“Looking back on these past 25 years, I feel that I will leave this office moving forward and in better shape than when I came,” Nash said. “I’m interested in pursuing joy. There’s got to be fun in it.”
Nash was hired in 1997 by Treasurer Ellen Maddox. She had previously worked in Culpeper’s treasurer’s office and worked in banking before that. Since that time, Nash has worked with two treasurers, four finance directors and two county administrators.
