“Cecilia is fully prepared for this opportunity, and our local communities will greatly benefit from her leadership, and experience in state and federal government, as well as from the lessons she took from her time as a Marine serving our country,” DFA Secretary Wayne Propst said.

“It is both an honor and a privilege to serve in this role, and to continue building on the successes of the past and work jointly with our local government leaders and our organizations in efforts to streamline processes and procedures to vitalize our state together,” Mavrommatis said.
