“Jill has been a tremendous asset for our town, the town staff and for council in the face of some incredible challenges. Her guidance and strong leadership have benefited every member of our community,” said Mayor Jerry Bien-Willner in a prepared statement. “She has faced every obstacle head on, and, with a collaborative approach and great skill, humility and integrity, and has made the town a better place across the board for all our benefit. We are so grateful that Jill remains as committed as ever to the town, and with the time she has provided for a new hire and her work to ensure a successful and smooth transition, our town will go from strength to strength.”
