Sherri-Marie Millar named City of Welland interim Chief Administrative Officer

Sherri-Marie Millar, the City of Welland’s director of infrastructure services, has been named the interim CAO.

Millar has spent the last four years with the City, with prior municipal experiences with the City of Niagara Falls and the Town of Fort Erie.

“The importance of filling this role, even on an acting basis, cannot be understated,” said Mayor Frank Campion. “As a municipality on the rise, we need someone at the helm, and we entrust Sherri-Marie with that responsibility and believe she will lead us to where we need to go.”

Millar is a professional engineer who brings decades of project management experience to the role.

"I am grateful and humbled by Council's trust in me to lead the City of Welland," said Millar. "The responsibilities and scope of a CAO are extensive and distinctive, and I am honoured to have the chance to guide our team and collaborate with Council to achieve the goals and objectives we have set for ourselves."

A report to Council with a recommendation for the recruitment of a full-time CAO comes in August.
