Leadership Retirement and Promotion

After 40 years in the municipal sector and 28 years in various roles with South-West Oxford Township, CAO Mary Ellen Greb has notified the Council of her impending retirement at the end of 2025 (more on that as the time approaches).

On behalf of the Council, I am pleased to announce that Julie Middleton, the current Clerk/Deputy CAO, will be promoted to CAO of the Township following the retirement of CAO Greb. We are confident in Julie's abilities and look forward to her leadership.

Since joining South-West Oxford as a Municipal Clerk in September 2017, Julie has served the community well. In April 2022, she was given Deputy CAO responsibilities in keeping with the township’s succession plan to develop new potential leaders who can move into leadership roles when they become vacant.

Julie’s extensive 20 years of experience in varying roles at lower-tier municipalities in Southwestern Ontario (including Oxford County) and her working knowledge of our community have prepared her for this new role. Her unwavering commitment to customer service and collaboration with the public, staff, council, and other agencies will ensure that the Township's strategic and organizational goals are met.

Mayor David Mayberry
