Stanton City Manager's Newsletter

We've come a long way since I started working for the City three years ago! It has been an absolute pleasure and a joy to work in our community, and I will forever cherish my time in Stanton. With that being said, I would like to announce that my last day with the City of Stanton will be May 12 as I will begin a new professional chapter as the Laguna Hills City Manager. We are currently recruiting for the position of City Manager, as well as a few other positions. If you are interested in working for our City, please visit: www.StantonCA.gov/Jobs. I cannot wait to watch Stanton continue to transform over the coming years! The best is yet to come!
