When 2026 begins, a new face will be leading the Village of Sister Bay on a day-to-day basis. The Village of Sister Bay Board recently appointed Benjamin Andrews as its new administrator, replacing the retiring Julie Schmelzer.
Andrews has spent the last four years as a Community Development Administrator with Appleton-based MSA Professional Services, following stints with CESA 7 and the Village of Bellevue. The UW-Green Bay alum is also completing his Master’s degree in Public Administration at UW-Oshkosh.
Village President Nate Bell called Andrews an up-and-coming leader in a release posted by Innovative Public Advisors. “His track record of modernizing operations, grant writing, and building strong community relationships makes him an ideal fit for Sister Bay. We look forward to the energy and professionalism he will bring to our Village.”
Andrews said he is excited to take on the role, calling Sister Bay a vibrant community where he looks forward to fostering strong relationships. “I’m eager to bring my commitment to service, communication, and organizational development to this role and help support Sister Bay’s continued growth and success,” he added.
After accepting the role late last month, Andrews will officially start on January 5th.
