Council is pleased to announce that the Municipality of Thames Centre has appointed Michael J. Henry as their new chief administrative officer. The appointment of Mr. Henry to the position of chief administrative officer will take effect on January 6, 2020.
Mr. Henry has been the municipality’s Director of Community Services and Facilities since 2016 and is well-known for his progressive leadership style and passion for community engagement. Previously, Mr. Henry spent four years as Manager of Operations at the Town of Amherstburg. After reviewing over 50 applicants, council concluded that Mr. Henry was the best qualified to have an immediate impact on the municipality.
Mayor Warwick made the announcement on December 17, 2019. “We are delighted that Mike has accepted the position of CAO. Mike has established himself as an innovative leader in Thames Centre and has worked tirelessly on behalf of the community over the past four years,” said Mayor Warwick. “He has a proven track record of innovative service delivery and he is well respected by staff and the community.”
“I am thrilled and thankful for the trust that council has placed in me. I look forward to sustaining the great momentum of Mr. Findlater and council and working with the dedicated staff and community to continue to make Thames Centre an incredible place to live, work, and play,” he said.
This leadership role materialized when the current CAO, Stewart Findlater, announced he would be retiring in December 2019.
