Proctorville completes AIM certification program

PROCTORVILLE — The Proctorville Board of Aldermen received certificates of completion for the N.C. League of Municipalities (NCLM) Accounting Instruction & Mentorship (AIM) program during its Monday meeting.

The AIM program was launched in 2024 to improve the financial health of towns that have not historically had the resources and support available that are needed to thrive by providing towns with customized instruction on general accounting procedures, practical guidance and resources to keep finance departments on track, and catch-up bookkeeping and auditing services.

Susan McCullen, a representative of NCLM, presented the town board with plaques congratulating them on successfully completing the program.

“You have a nice community here,” McCullen said, “and you’ve done a lot. We’re going to continue to work together.”

Additionally, Town Administrator Jerome Chestnut shared that he has reached out to two possible candidates for the Town Attorney position. Interviews are scheduled in the coming months.

Chestnut also shared an update on the town’s 2025 and 2026 fiscal year reports. The 2025 report is projected to be completed by the end of the month and ready for presentation in December. The 2026 report is expected to be completed by the end of this coming January and ready for presentation in February.
