NORWICH – The City of Norwich Common Council appointed Dee DuFour to a new role as City Clerk/Director of Finance at a special meeting on Tuesday, May 2, an appointment that Mayor Christine Carnrike calls ‘long overdue.’

“Dee DuFour has stepped up without hesitation to take on the responsibilities of the position when it was vacated in 2015 and 2016,” said Mayor Carnrike. “She possesses the knowledge and insight with more than two decades of first-hand experience in the Finance Office at City Hall.”

DuFour began her career in finance as a Senior Account Clerk with the City of Norwich in September of 1989.

She was promoted to Assistant to the Director of Finance in 1995, and then to Deputy City Chamberlain in 2005.

“I’ve worked for the Finance office for many years and I’m looking forward to continuing to serve the residents of the City of Norwich in my new role,” said DuFour.
