City of Bozeman

Are you interested in how your local government works? Maybe you want to give back, get more involved with decision-making, or round out your professional experience more. One of the best ways to do that is through a City Board! We have Boards that deal with development, sustainability, transportation, and more, and if you have an interest in any of these topics, we'd encourage you to apply. There are vacant seats as well as people who are nearing the end of their terms. Learn more and apply at https://lnkd.in/gZnH77HN!

Our Interim City Manager, Chuck Winn, recently hit the impressive 40-year mark at the City of Bozeman! Which, by the way, we’re not sure how that’s possible when he’s only 45?! Because of his tenure here, it’s not uncommon for Chuck to run into a resident who has known him for years from one of his prior roles at the City. He’s a staple here, and here are some fun facts about him to celebrate: 🔥 He retired as Bozeman Fire Chief after working his way up through the ranks … and then like Michael Jordan he CAME BACK out of retirement and went on to be Assistant City Manager and now Interim City Manager. 🥩 He LOVES chomps. Bags of chomps don’t last long in our office… 🏢 Despite occupying the role of City Manager, he has STAYED in his Assistant City Manager office space and has refused to move into the official City Manager office. He likes his old space! Congrats, Chuck, and thanks for your many years of service!
