Gloucester County Administrator Carol Steele recently appointed the County’s Chief Financial Officer, Maria Calloway, to Deputy County Administrator, effective Sept. 1. Calloway fills the position left vacant by the recent retirement of George Bains, who had served as deputy county administrator since March of 2021.
As she assumes her new role, Calloway said one of her priorities is to continue working to make local government finance and operations clear and understandable, encouraging citizens to share their input and stay connected to their community. She also will make it a priority to continue strengthening relationships within the County’s workforce and with local and regional partners.
