The Municipality of the County of Annapolis announces the resignation of Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), Chris McNeill, effective the end of June.

His extensive knowledge of municipal government and commitment to public service have made a lasting impact on Annapolis County.

"The role of CAO is complex and demanding, requiring a wide array of skills and strong leadership," said Warden Diane LeBlanc. "Chris brought an immense amount of experience to the position and has been a thoughtful, responsible leader who worked well with Council and staff. He demonstrated a solid understanding of local government and placed great value on partnerships with citizens, local businesses, and other levels of government. He will be missed."

Council remains committed to ensuring the continuity and quality of services that residents expect and deserve. "We are fortunate to have an efficient and skilled workforce," Warden LeBlanc added. "Council will continue to support the efforts of staff as they carry out the Municipality’s daily operations to the highest standard."

Council will initiate the process of recruiting a new CAO in the near future.

The Municipality thanks Mr. McNeill for his service and dedication and wishes him all the best in his future endeavors.
