“I am extremely excited to be joining the Township of Seguin in this leadership position. I see great potential for Seguin with exciting projects such as the Wellness Centre, airport expansion, and growth throughout the community,” stated Inwood. “My family and I are looking forward to being active in all aspects of community life throughout Seguin.”
Council undertook the search for a new CAO in June following the departure of the previous CAO. “We worked with Waterhouse Executive Search to source candidates from across Canada. Over 24 candidates were considered during the search. We are delighted to be welcoming Jason to Seguin,” stated Mayor Ann MacDiarmid.
