The Exton Region Chamber of Commerce will honor Chester County Prothonotary Matthew Holliday, a member of the Board of Directors of the Friends Association for Care and Protection of Children, with the 2018 Senator Robert J. Thompson Public Service Award.

Holliday knew when he was eight years old that he wanted to dedicate his life to public service.

As Prothonotary, he is chief clerk for the courts of law. He manages a budget of more than $1.4 million, presides over public ceremonies, and has implemented an e-filing system and identified a language service that provides real-time translations for customers in more than 70 languages via the phone.

“One of my favorite aspects of being County Prothonotary are the opportunities that come up for my staff and I to work behind the scenes to help people,” said Holliday.

Previously, Holliday served as Chief of Staff to State Rep. Dan Truitt for five years and Political Director of the Republican Committee of Chester County for more than a year.

In addition to the Friends Association, Holliday serves on a number of boards, including The Arc of Chester County and West Chester University Alumni Association.

“Matt Holliday is a dedicated and generous community leader,” said Catherine Friedman, the Friends Association’s Executive Director. “Matt can always be counted on to step up and lend his time, knowledge, and talent, striving to ensure that we all have the benefit of living healthy, happy lives in our wonderful community.”

Holliday will receive the award at the ERCC Annual Review Luncheon on Tuesday, Jan. 8 from 11:30 AM-1:30 PM at the Downingtown Country Club from 11:30-1:30.
