• Elected Official - Township Clerk

  • Jan 2020 - Present

  I was appointed Clerk in January of 2020, in the midst of a tumultuous election year in which I also had to run as a candidate. Locals subsequently elected me to fill the position for a four year term. I was given the very difficult task of managing an organization that was in a state of disorganization and turmoil. In a matter of months, I had reorganized records, provided transparency to residents through new tools and increased effort, launched a more effective website, provided electronic access to board meetings and materials, encouraged other members to consistently fulfill their obligations, and much more.My efforts to improve government interactions with the community continue after being elected into the position in November of 2020. Community members' desires are always at the forefront of my mind as are the needs of the next generation. I look forward to continuing to progress toward a better Columbia Township.
