Somerset County Administrator to Speak at Virtual ELC Meeting

The Somerset County Employers Legislative Committee (ELC) will return after a ten-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic with a live webinar featuring Somerset County Administrator Colleen Mahr. The session is scheduled for Tuesday, May 18, 20201 from 11:00 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.

The webinar meeting is free of charge and available to all residents, business owners and employees, and elected officials.

New to the Somerset in 2021, Administrator Mahr will introduce herself to the county community and discuss her plans to move the county forward. Registration is available at http://bit.ly/ELC518. Following registration, access information will be emailed the evening prior to the event.

As Administrator, Mahr is responsible for the day-to-day operation and supervision of county departments and projects, implementing policies set by the Board of County Commissioners, and representing the Commissioners in internal and external matters.

Mahr is the immediate past president of the New Jersey League of Municipalities and has held economic development posts in Jersey City and Roselle. Prior to assuming the post as Administrator she was employed by DMR Architects and served as mayor of Fanwood since 2004.

“Administrator Mahr hit the ground running when she was appointed Deputy Administrator late in 2020, despite the problems caused by the pandemic," said Kathryn Mantel, co-chair of the Somerset County ELC. “Since that time, she has provided strong leadership for county departments and has proven that she is an innovator and strong leader.”
