District of Wells hires a new CAO/Chief Administrative Officer

Courtesy of the District of Wells:

The District of Wells Council is pleased to announce Mr. Jerry Dombowsky as its new Chief Administrative Officer (CAO).  Mr. Dombowsky will be joining the District of Wells full-time on October 10th, 2023, and “on-boarding” until then as he transitions from his full-time employment with the City of Kelowna.  

Council reviewed 14 applications for CAO, interviewed five candidates, and arrived at Mr. Dombowsky as the lead candidate in the process.  Mr. Dombowsky has a home in Wells, BC, and we are excited to have him join us as our CAO and full-time citizen of Wells.

Mr. Dombowsky has spent the last 25 years in a variety of roles of increasing responsibility with the City of Kelowna, including managing the transit operation, environmental programming, active transportation, parking management, community event delivery, and land negotiation.  He is well seasoned in contract management, staff management and development, media relations, and liaison with all levels of government.  

His experience with Mayor and Council is broad, entailing ongoing reporting, budget preparation and management of Council Committees.  Prior to joining the City of Kelowna, he was employed by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation as a Senior Project Analyst. With a background in Commerce and Business Administration Jerry brings common sense, strong leadership, and accountability to the role of CAO.  

Mr. Dombowsky will help Council and the Community continue to implement the District of Wells 2022 to 2032 Business Plan.  His expertise, experience, proven professionalism, and skills will greatly benefit our Community in its implementation.
