The mission of the First Selectwoman’s Office is to set Town policy and implement it through the departmental structure, develop long term planning objectives, provide management guidance and oversight to Town Departments, initiate new projects, provide direction to Town Committees/Boards, and to represent and promote the Town in appropriate civic, business, and public functions. The Selectwoman’s Office also pursues grant opportunities, and coordinates with State officials, legislators, neighboring towns and regional intergovernmental organizations. The Town of Westport will demonstrate through practice and policy its commitment to environmental stewardship. A sustainable community is a thriving community - one that provides opportunity for all residents, business owners, and visitors. A community that cares for the environment and has a vision for the future as the best place to live, work, play and learn.

Administratively, the mission includes providing direct citizen assistance by ensuring concerns and issues are appropriately addressed in a timely, efficient manner. The office responds to citizen inquiries, including information requests, suggestions, complaints, and requests for follow-up action. The Selectwoman’s Office is also responsible for the correspondence and record keeping of the Board of Selectmen, Traffic Authority, and Water Pollution Control Authority, and all committees appointed by the First Selectwoman. The Selectwoman’s Office coordinates the scheduling of Town Hall meetings and meeting rooms, the use of Town property, facilities and/or roadways, as well as rental of Town facilities by not-for-profit organizations.

The First Selectwoman has 17 direct reports, encompassing all elements of town government, with the exception of the Westport Public Schools system. The Second and Third Selectpersons advise the First Selectwoman, participate in Board of Selectmen votes, and oversee assigned projects. The Operations Director manages special assignments and challenging citizen complaints, new initiatives, and grant pursuits, and directly interacts with Town Departments on operational matters and efficiency and effectiveness improvements. The Operations Director also works to maximize the benefits of the Town’s sustainability initiatives and build a foundation for long-term environmental stewardship by creating meaningful partnerships among employees, residents, and community stakeholders.
