Michael Simpson is the new chief administrative officer (CAO) for the County of Paintearth. He will assume his role and responsibilities on Aug. 13.
Having spent several years in the area during high school, Simpson brings a solid background in the private and public sectors, as well as the intentions of living and raising his children within the county.
Coupled with his passion and desire to excel as an administrator, he is currently pursuing his Certified Local Government Managers (CLGM) designation. With experience working not only locally, but also regionally, council believes Simpson will be a strong asset to administration, the county, and the region, said Assistant CAO Brenda Hepp.
Simpson replaces Tarolyn Aaserud who left earlier this year.
