The City of Elkhart appointed Megan Erwin as the city’s new chief of staff.
Erwin is an Elkhart native with experience in public policy, grants management and public finance. Her experience includes the U.S. Government Accountability Office, Indiana House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee, Monroe County Council, Oxfam America and Catholic Charities.
“We are confident that her leadership will build on the strong foundation laid by Bradley Tracy,” Mayor Rod Roberson said in a press release. “Her extensive experience in managing complex budgets and her proven track record in community development make her an ideal leader to guide Elkhart into the future.”
Erwin spent the last seven years working for the City of Norfolk, VA, as senior budget analyst, HUD grants manager and assistant director of housing and community development. During her time in Norfolk, she oversaw more than $80 million in departmental funds and $220 million in federal grants. Erwin led the city’s community budget engagement, housing preservation and financial empowerment initiatives.
On Jan. 14, the City of Elkhart announced the retirement of Bradley Tracy, chief of staff. Tracy served under two administrations, since joining the city in 2019. Tracy will continue to handle special projects for the city.
