Mayor George has begun announcing the director-level staff for her administration, including the nominations of Brian Corrigan as a new law director, and Roman Ducu as a new director of public works.

The City’s web site is publishing profiles of some of the new and returning department directors, including Corrigan, and Fire Chief Tim Dunphy.

Last week, Patch.com published a glimpse into the transition process which began soon after George’s election.

Also, Cleveland Magazine included George in a feature on new mayors elected in Cleveland suburbs last fall.

Remarks following my official swearing-in today as Mayor of Lakewood:

This has come full circle for me. Sixteen people have served as mayor since the City of Lakewood’s incorporation. I am the first person in Lakewood’s history to have seen her parent carry the honor & burden of this office and then serve as a mayor in her own right.

First, I’d like to say: thank you residents of Lakewood. I am honored by the faith you have shown in me and am ready for the work ahead.

I’ve homed in on a few themes that are important to me and I’ve heard Lakewood say are important to you as well: Responsibility, Opportunity, and Unity.
