Prince Albert City Council has named Sherry Person as the new city manager for an 18-month term, replacing Jim Toye who held the position for eight years.
Person has been employed by the city for 28 years. She has taken on different roles since she was hired in 1994. However, during the last eight years she has been the city clerk and will be passing the role on to Terri Mercier for the same 18-month term beginning in May.
“The city has incredibly dedicated employees who have achieved so much over the last several years and we need to build on those successes,” Person said in a media release. “As I look ahead, I want to work with council to establish a focused vision of what we want achieved for this community and set in motion what we need to achieve it.”
The city says Person has been a strong leader and has shown ambition, focus and accountability through her work.
“These skills along with her governance knowledge will be key assets in the term ahead and will be relied upon to guide the city to achieve greater levels of teamwork, trust, and communication,” as stated in the release.
