already appointed his executive team<\/span><\/a>, which includes a diverse set of backgrounds and experiences to lead the city\u2019s various departments.<\/p>\n\u201cIn preparing for our administration, my top priority was to bring in the most competent, qualified and dedicated leaders to serve our city with integrity,\u201d Hammoud said. \u201cWith these hires, I\u2019m confident we\u2019ve done that. They bring not only vast experience, but the innovative mindset needed to deliver superior public service to our residents in 2022 and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n
The inauguration took place at the Ford Community and Performing Arts Center, although Hammoud has been serving as mayor in an official capacity since Jan. 1. In his inauguration speech, he talked about the historic firsts of his administration, the history of Dearborn, and the promise of a city government to represent its residents.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur team brings not only vast experience, but historic diversity that includes several broken barriers,\u201d Hammoud said. \u201cDiversity in public service is about far more than representation; it is about pooling our shared talents to address our shared problems.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy including more of us, we widen our perspectives. We improve our decision-making and multiply our impact. No matter your background, zip code or native tongue, the City of Dearborn will always treat you equitably and strive to earn your trust each and every day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hammoud, the city council, charter commission and other elected officials will be serving Dearborn for the next four years.<\/p>\n
