A statement issued at 4:33 p.m. Sept. 28 from Northumberland County Warden Brian Ostrander said that, effectively immediately, Jennifer Moore is no longer serving as the county's Chief Administrative Officer.

“During her 17 years of service with the county, Ms. Moore provided dedicated and respected leadership, guiding the county through periods of transformative change,” Ostrander's statement said.

“In her role as CAO over the last 10 years, as well as seven years as Director of Finance/Treasurer prior to that, she prepared budgets that strengthened the county's financial management, navigated complex projects, championed improvements to processes, and enhanced services for the community.

“She was also a valued mentor to many staff, fostering professional growth and helping to build an organizational culture of excellence that will endure. Her commitment to public service has left a lasting impact, and county council wishes her all the very best in her future pursuits.”

The statement concluded by saying no interim CAO had yet been appointed,

“Senior management will continue to conduct the affairs of the organization and report directly to council while council considers next steps.”
