Today, the Village Board of Greendale announced that
they have hired Clerk-Treasurer Todd Michaels as it’s
new Village Manager, a position made available

Mr. Michaels competed with the other candidates and emerged as the best fit for Greendale. The Board is extremely pleased to be able to offer Mr. Michaels the position of Village Manager, and we look forward to working with him to move the Village of Greendale forward."
Michaels and his wife, Susan, grew up on Milwaukee's south side. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a Masters Degree in Public Administration, he worked in a Rockford, Illinois suburb.
