Christine Madrid Becomes Acting Mayor
At last Thursday night's Montgomery Township Committee meeting, Mark Conforti resigned as mayor and as a member of the township committee. Mark's extended family is moving to Florida and he will be spending the majority of the rest of the year there. "It's been an honor to serve Montgomery over the years in numerous roles, but my family has decided to move on to the next phase of our lives and I will be joining them," said Mr. Conforti.
 
Deputy Mayor Christine Madrid assumed the role of acting mayor and will be formally sworn in at the next Township Committee meeting on August 16. "It's been a pleasure serving with Mark over the years and I look forward to continuing our work to protect and enhance our community's exceptional quality of life," said Ms. Madrid. Christine previously served as mayor in 2015.

A new township committee member will also be sworn in on August 16 to fill the unexpired term of Mr. Conforti.
