Hamilton Mayor Jeff Martin is pleased to announce Elizabeth Peddicord as the new Director of Finance and Chief Financial Officer for the Township.

Peddicord most recently served as the Chief Financial Officer of the Township of Evesham, where she prepared the annual budget, managed accounts payable, assisted with contract negotiations, and supervised employees. Previously the Treasurer for Evesham for eleven years, Peddicord also has experience as an auditor for other municipalities and associations working in the private sector.  Peddicord is also licensed as a Certified Public Accountant, Certified Tax Collector and Qualified Purchasing Agent.

“I am looking forward to serving the residents of Hamilton Township. This is an exciting opportunity, between the pandemic and the recent local aid, to set Hamilton up for short and long term financial success,” said Peddicord.

Peddicord is a graduate of Stockton University with a Bachelor of Science in Accounting and received her Masters of Arts in Corporate Public Relations from Rowan University.  She is mother of four young children and enjoys running in her spare time.

“I am thrilled to have Liz join the Township,” said Mayor Martin.  “I am thankful for her willingness to serve and am confident that Hamilton Township is in good hands with Liz as part of our Finance team.”

“I would also like to thank our Business Administrator Kathy Monzo for filling the position of Acting CFO and Tax Collector Danielle Peacock for assuming the position of Acting Director of Finance while we searched for a new hire.”

Peddicord will assume the role of Director of Finance/Chief Financial Officer on Monday, March 22, 2021. This nomination requires, and is expected to receive, the consent of the Hamilton Township Council.
