BOSTON - Friday,
December 17, 2021 - Mayor Michelle Wu today announced that Brianna Millor
will serve as the City of Boston’s next Chief of Community Engagement,
effective January 3, 2021. In this role, Millor will lead
the Community Engagement Cabinet, which seeks to improve the
delivery of City Services as well as create opportunities for all Boston
residents to participate in local government. She is charged with bringing
City Hall out of City Hall and into our communities, meeting residents
where they are to deliver services and drive community connection.
“To deliver on the
bold changes our communities need and deserve, we must connect and empower
every resident to be part of shaping our collective future,” said Mayor Wu.
“I’m inspired by Brianna’s love for community and for Boston. She has been
a trusted advisor and passionate community advocate, and I am so excited
for her leadership in this role.”
A Dorchester native
and the daughter of a Haitian immigrant, Millor brings years of local
government experience to the Community Engagement Cabinet. Her background
in community organizing has informed her work at City Hall. As a high
school student, she became involved in Bold Teens, a Dorchester-based
organization that focuses on environmental and social justice issues, and
emphasizes community voice in public decision-making. In 2016, she joined
Hillary Clinton’s Presidential Campaign, where she worked on voter
engagement strategies ahead of the New Hampshire Primary.
After first joining the
City Council President’s Office under Mayor Wu in 2016 as a Communications
Intern, she returned in 2018 as Administrative Director and later as Civic
Engagement Director. Millor has represented Mayor Wu’s Council Office on
the Board of ABCD and previously served on ABCD’s Neighborhood
Programs/Planning & Evaluation (NPPE) Committee. She is a graduate of
Quinnipiac University with a Bachelors in Political Science and a Masters
Degree in Public Relations.
“I am honored and
excited to lead the Office of Community Engagement, and to continue serving
our city’s residents under Mayor Wu,” said Millor. “My experiences at City
Hall have affirmed my love and commitment to my community and the city that
raised me, and I am eager to facilitate in connecting residents to city
government in new and creative ways.”
The Office of
Community Engagement leads our city’s work towards eliminating silos
between Boston residents and City Hall and better connecting community
engagement and policy-making, driving decision-making through both
proactive and responsive engagement by meeting residents where they are, in
the community. The Civic Engagement Cabinet also includes the
Mayor’s Office of Neighborhood Services (ONS). ONS encourages, facilitates,
and maximizes citizen input and participation in all aspects of government
through service requests, neighborhood meetings, mailings, and emergency
responses.
Millor lives in
Dorchester and enjoys spending time with her family.
