Our City welcomed a new Director General on February 20, 2023. A historic appointment, Julie Mandeville became the first woman to hold this position in Westmount<\/strong>. Working alongside Mayor Christina M. Smith, Julie Mandeville counts among several women in high responsibility roles at the City. Despite the many dossiers already on her desk, our new DG has been diligent in meeting with each of the City’s Departments as she begins mounting a strategy for this exciting new chapter in Westmount.<\/p>\n

Julie Mandeville is no stranger to the City, having previously served as Director of Finance, Assistant Director General and Treasurer. Now, she is taking on the role of behind-the-scenes champion for all of the City\u2019s operations. \u201cI am a woman of action. I love being involved in various projects and working in a team,\u201d Mandeville says of how she is approaching her new role. She preaches a collegial approach where proximity is key to effective collaboration. \u201cI have this feeling of belonging in Westmount. It\u2019s a family,\u201d\u00a0and as Director General, Julie is keen on developing even better collaboration and truly unifying the City\u2019s different departments and the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need [the residents of Westmount] to feel part of the City because they\u2019re the reason it exists.\u201d
\n– Julie Mandeville, Director General<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In fact, the community is top of mind for our new DG. \u201cThe primary goal of a municipal administration is to serve all its residents,\u201d she states. \u201cWe need them to feel part of the City because they\u2019re the reason it exists.\u201d In five years from now, Julie foresees better community outreach, and she is particularly passionate on communicating about climate change. \u201cA few years ago we were talking about it, but now we\u2019re seeing it,\u201d she says. \u201cSeven degrees in February? That used to be unheard of.\u201d Many existing green initiatives within the City are little known or not yet fully adopted by residents. From optimizing waste disposal operations to updating infrastructure, Julie sees now as a time of great opportunity. \u201cWe\u2019re going to really reach out to our residents \u2013 what do they want to see?\u201d For our Director General, the answer to that question is clear. She is working toward \u201ca greener City.\u201d<\/p>\n

Julie Mandeville will surely bring her own style to the Director General\u2019s office. Empathy is a core value that she hopes to infuse throughout the administration. Westmount is also an employer, and she believes better employee respect and recognition, among other value-based efforts, will help the City retain and attract more top talent to tackle the great projects ahead. \u201cI will likely arrive at results a little differently [than my predecessors],\u201d she reflects. \u201cWhether that\u2019s because I\u2019m a woman or simply because I\u2019m Julie…\u201d What matters most, as far as our new DG is concerned, is getting a move on toward the future we all want to see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
