New Rochelle Appoints New City Clerk

NEW ROCHELLE, NY — A new city clerk was appointed in New Rochelle. City Manager Charles B. Strome III announced Thursday the appointment of Michelle Oliveros to the position. She succeeds Omar Small, who resigned from the city after a 15-year tenure to serve as village administrator in Pelham.

“I am pleased to appoint Michelle Oliveros as our new city clerk. Her experience and dedication will be a tremendous asset to this vital office,” Strome said.

Oliveros joined the City of New Rochelle in 1996 as a community project specialist in the New Rochelle Youth Bureau. Over the course of two decades with the bureau she served in increasing capacity, as intergenerational coordinator, senior youth worker and most recently as program administrator where she coordinated a variety of key programs including the Summer Employment Programs for youth ages 14-21, the Middle School Drop-in Program, and the New Rochelle Youth Council.

She has used her Spanish translation and advocacy skills to assist individuals and families of all ages, in case management as well as intergenerational programming at the Hugh Doyle Senior Center.

Oliveros received her bachelor's of science degree from St. John’s University.
