Julie Stockford takes on role vacated by Rob Webber
The town of Hartland has a new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO).
Julie Stockford of Howard Brook started her new position on Feb. 18, after Rob Webber vacated it in Nov. 2024, taking a CAO position with another municipality.
The municipality noted her years of insurance and financial management experience in the upcoming Hartland newsletter.
“After an extensive search, we found the perfect fit in Julie Stockford,” said Mayor Tracey DeMerchant. “Her strong leadership skills, dedication to community, and professional experience are a tremendous asset to Hartland.”
The announcement, which will be included in the Hartland newsletter and delivered to Hartland residents’ mailboxes in early April, notes Stockford’s willingness to hit the ground running.
“Since stepping into the role, Julie has worked closely with council and municipal staff to oversee daily operations, implement policies, and engage with residents and business owners.”
The announcement also touched on Stockford’s demonstrated commitment to the town, “taking the time to familiarize herself with ongoing initiatives and working closely with council to support Hartland’s growth.”
