A highlight of my time at #ICMA2024 was getting to visit Cranberry Township, a gracious host of the Assistants Exchange. Not only do their pickleball courts put us all to shame, but I saw a familiar name as I approached their municipal building. Jerry Andree is a living legend who elevated Cranberry to be the envy of us all. Having seen Cranberry for the first time this week, it certainly lives up to the hype! Dan Santoro is doing a great job managing the community and a refresh of their massive municipal building. He is certainly maintaining the gold standard Cranberry has become known for.

Cranberry leaders had a chance to share the secrets of solid governance on Friday. Township administrators hosted participants taking part in the ICMA - International City/County Management Association Conference. Taking place all weekend in Pittsburgh, Friday’s activities included The Assistant Chief Administrative Officer Exchange, where municipal leaders from across the country visited and toured their counterparts in Western Pennsylvania. Cranberry hosted Rita Ramirez, Assistant City Administrator, City of La Vista, Nebraska; Carey Neal, Deputy City Manager, City of Lancaster, Texas; and Julissa Jose-Murray, Chief of Administrative Operations, Police Department, City of Long Beach, California. They were joined by Pine Township leaders, as well as Pine’s exchange participants Antonio Lopez, Deputy Town Manager, Town of Miami Lakes, Florida and Heath Lloyd, Chief Development Officer/Assistant City, City of Savannah, Georgia. The group visited several areas in the Township to see how Cranberry delivers services, leads staff, engages residents, and more.
