The City of Albion and the Albion Arts Commission are pleased to host a community Open House welcoming Dr. Sheryl L. Theriot back to Albion as the city’s newly appointed City Manager. The event is open to all residents and will be held at the Albion Arts Center, 107 E. Cass Street in downtown Albion. Admission is free. Light refreshments will be served.
Dr. Theriot is a familiar and beloved figure in Albion, having previously served as the city’s City Manager from 2014 to 2018, at the time under her professional name Sheryl Mitchell. During that tenure, she earned a reputation as a hands-on, community- centered leader — one who could be found in the streets alongside work crews and in the community alongside residents. Her return is a homecoming in the truest sense: Dr. Theriot has expressed her intention to make Albion her home once again.
Dr. Theriot returns to Albion at a pivotal moment, as the city moves forward with major infrastructure improvements, housing and industrial redevelopment, and continued efforts to build community pride and regional reputation. The Albion City Council
recognized her experience, commitment, and proven leadership as the right fit for the challenges and opportunities ahead. All Albion residents, community members, and friends of the city are warmly invited to attend, meet Dr. Theriot, and share in this moment of community celebration. The Albion Arts Commission is excited to host this event at our new Albion Arts Center.
