The township has filled two key staff positions.
CAO Manny Baron reported at the March 13 meeting that John Morrison will be the township’s new finance director/treasurer.
Morrison, a Belwood resident, has over 20 years of financial accounting and management experience, including 14 years in municipal administration.
He has been director of finance and operations at United Way Simcoe Muskoka since July of 2013. Between 1999 and 2013 he worked for the Region of Waterloo, first as a financial analyst and later as director of revenue.
Morrison is set to join the Mapleton staff on March 16. He replaces previous finance director Karmen Krueger, who resigned effective Feb. 9.
Baron also advised council that Trish Wake will be joining the township as economic development co-coordinator.
Wake is currently community administrator for the Mount Forest Chamber of Commerce and has been responsible for marketing strategies and event planning and involved in local business development efforts for that organization.
Baron said she “will make sure our online presence and effectiveness improves greatly” and assist with re-engagement with the recently-re-activated Mapleton Chamber of Commerce.
