Elaine Vincent joined the Town of Okotoks September 1, 2016 as the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO).  The CAO is responsible for implementing the strategic direction established by Council, and is focused on the key priority areas of managing community growth, fostering economic vitality, providing quality community infrastructure, promoting environmental stewardship, ensuring a healthy and safe community, and providing strong governance while maintaining organizational excellence. 

On July 1, 2017 annexation of close to 4900 acres of land into the Town of Okotoks became a reality and strong leadership is required to ensure continued environmental and fiscal excellence in a time of transition and growth.
