MEDFORD, MA — Mayor-Elect Breanna Lungo-Koehn has formed a transition committee to offer advice and support as she prepare to take office. Inauguration is scheduled for Sunday, Jan. 5 at 10 a.m. at the Chevalier Theatre.

"When I ran for Mayor, I did so with the intent to seek out people across Medford for advice and hard work to make our amazing city even greater," Lungo-Koehn said in a statement. "I also knew I wanted to include people that think differently than I do. Transitions are always difficult but this group of committed volunteers has the talent, experience, and diversity that we need to have a successful transition." The committee will be chaired by Chandler Road resident Sean Caron. Caron currently serves as managing director of Harvard University Real Estate and previously worked as chief of operations at the Community Builders, Counsel for the Metropolitan Area Planning Council and Policy Director for Citizens' Housing and Planning Association. He was gubernatorial appointee to the Medford Housing Authority from 2012-2013 and also volunteers in Medford youth sports.

"My role is to facilitate a process that results in the best ideas being put on the table for 2020," Caron said in a prepared release. "While I won't be joining the administration, the opportunity to serve in this volunteer capacity is a true honor. I am excited to do whatever I can to help position Medford for the positive, inclusive change Mayor-Elect Lungo-Koehn has called for."

Stephen Pompeo of Newton Road will serve as assistant chair. He is a local business owner and has been a member of the Board of Assessors and Board of Park Commissioners, as well as director of the Medford Chamber of Commerce and co-chair of its Government Affairs Committee. Pompeo also will not join the administration after the transition.

The goals of the group are to create avenues for Medford residents to offer additional feedback on priorities; combine that public feedback with their own diverse experience to create recommendations for Mayor-Elect Lungo-Koehn to consider as she takes office in January; and begin the work of unifying Medford by offering a variety of perspectives a voice at the table, according to a press release.
