Women's History Month:  Sturgeon Bay's first woman mayor

As women throughout the nation are celebrated in March during Women’s History Month, Door County Daily News recognizes Colleen Crocker-MacMillin, Sturgeon Bay’s first female mayor.  Crocker-MacMillin served one term as mayor in the early 2000s and remembered that the best part of the job was helping the people of the community and being a hands-on administrator in her position.  She says her mediation background helped gain consensus from the council with those who disagreed on issues.  The City’s completion of the Maple-to-Oregon Bridge was one of the city’s most significant accomplishments during her three-term as mayor.

 

 

Crocker-MacMillin notes that it is empowering to see that more women are seeking and realizing leadership positions in organizations and local government today than ever before.  Crocker-MacMillin, who currently works at the Door County Medical Center in the Urgent Care Department, lives in Sturgeon Bay with her husband Jerry.   She enjoys spending her free time volunteering with local organizations like Neighbor-to-Neighbor and the Door County YMCA’s Youth in Government program.
