Village President, Trustees, and Officials
Village Leadership
The Village of German Valley is led by Village President Mark Jewell and the Board of Trustees, who work together to serve our residents and businesses with integrity and dedication. They are committed to encouraging community involvement and protecting the village’s assets while guiding thoughtful growth.
Supporting the Board are essential village officials who keep daily operations running smoothly: the Village Clerk ensures accurate records and transparent communication; the Village Treasurer manages finances responsibly; the Public Works Superintendent oversees infrastructure and maintenance; and our Police Officer helps maintain the safety and well-being of our community.
Together, all of these individuals work toward a shared goal—enhancing the quality of life for all who call German Valley home.
