As Mt Olive Township moves into 2012, new changes lie ahead for its government and its community. One of the new changes brings former Lincoln Park Business Administrator, Sean Canning into the mix as Mt Olive’s new Business Administrator. Canning will be in charge of day to day operations in Mt Olive Township and will serve as a liaison to the businesses and residents of Mt. Olive. Canning describes the transition moving from Lincoln Park to Mt Olive.
“It’s very similar. Management is crucial especially in Business Administration, the job is the same except for the names and faces and some small problems that change from town to town. Everywhere in New Jersey, Towns are facing the same problems as us, from budget issues to efficiencies with its citizens.”
Canning looks forward to conversing with residents and using his experience in both law enforcement and business administration to make the right decisions and bring new ideas to the table for his upcoming term. Canning has made himself accessible to any and all residents with questions, ideas and concerns for the township.
“One thing I do pride myself on is personnel management, “says Canning, “I’m into a lot of motivational leadership and have a customer oriented workforce. At the end of the day our residents are customers and I’m going to make sure that everyone in the township gets 102 percent out of their tax dollars. My office is always open and I am open to all ideas and suggestions.”
It has been a long road for Sean Canning as he has been all over New Jersey excelling in different projects and occupations. He first began as a police officer then rose through the ranks and became a patrol sergeant, then eventually chief of police in Lincoln Park. He then moved into the political arena and became the Business Administrator for Lincoln Park before ending up in Mt Olive. Canning shares what led him to make the jump:
“As my professional growth evolved I was able to help the residents of Lincoln Park by cutting costs without layoff. I saw an opening here in Mt Olive and wanted to move to a larger township. I did some research and saw a very attractive opportunity in coming to Mt Olive. I am very proud of how I left Lincoln Park as I left it in very good shape and I look forward to the new challenges ahead.”
We welcome Sean Canning to the Mt Olive area and wish him the best of luck in all of his future endeavors. For anyone who wants to reach Business Administrator Can-ning they can call 973-691-0900 xt 7201 .
