New city voice for community ties

A new face is leading the city’s community services and public outreach efforts.

Stacey Ford Osborne began her duties Feb. 26 as Elgin’s acting director of community services and public information officer, stepping in after longtime director Amy Miller accepted a position with Main Street America.

While she has not previously worked with the city, Osborne is no stranger to the area—often visiting her stepdaughter, and her husband, who have lived in Elgin since 2018, she said.
