- Posted: September 25th, 2024
The Township of Douro-Dummer has announced Todd Davis will be joining the township as the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO), beginning on Oct. 21.
Davis is a well seasoned municipal administrator with a career spanning more than 15 years serving in leadership roles at lower tier (Town of Port Hope), upper tier (Northumberland County) and single tier (Prince Edward County) municipalities. He is leaving the role of Director, Development Services for Port Hope – a position he has held with the municipality since January 2022. Davis has a wealth of municipal sector experience, focusing most of his civic career on economic, community, and business development.
Davis has a track record of successfully managing many high-profile projects that required organizational coordination and industry, community, and governmental input and oversight. Open and transparent administration are a priority, and he has experience managing council and committee expectations, operations, and outcomes.
“We are thrilled to welcome Todd Davis to the Township of Douro-Dummer as our new Chief Administrative Officer,” said Mayor Heather Watson. “His extensive experience in municipal administration, particularly in economic and community development, makes him a perfect fit for our community. We are confident that Todd’s expertise will help guide our township through its next phase of growth and success.”
As a passionate resident of Eastern Ontario, Davis has an appreciation for the entire region’s culture and rich history. He and his wife Alison have a busy family life with two children and are active members of their community, contributing to a number of local organizations.
In speaking about his upcoming move to join the township of Douro-Dummer, Davis said, “I am excited to join the team in Douro-Dummer to build on the great work that has been done to date in the community and to help council realize their strategic priorities.”
In addition to welcoming Davis, the township wishes to thank Mike Rutter, who stepped into the role of Interim CAO during the recruitment process. While Rutter’s time at the municipality was short, his leadership and commitment to public service were invaluable in providing a smooth transition and ensuring that projects continued to progress during his tenure.
