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 maintains accurate records and clear communication; the Village Treasurer ensures responsible financial management; the Public Works Superintendent oversees infrastructure and maintenance; our Police Officer works to protect the safety and well-being of the community; and the IT Manager maintains the Village website and manages other technology needs.

Together, all of these individuals work toward a shared goal—enhancing the quality of life for all who call German Valley home.
