Mayor Richard Bissen announced that Marcy Martin was sworn in today as County of Maui Acting Director of Finance.

She has graciously agreed to serve as the acting director while recruitment efforts continue for a permanent Director of Finance, said Mayor Bissen.

"Marcy's multi-faceted background in finance, and her years of experience in numerous leadership roles within the County's Finance Department, contribute to her selection for this interim role," Mayor Bissen said. "We are grateful that she is willing to serve in this capacity, in this critical time as we work diligently to appoint a new Director of Finance."

She is a Hawaiʻi Certified Residential Appraiser and earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in mathematics from San Diego State University.

Maria Zielinski, who had been serving as Acting Finance Director, was sworn in Wednesday as Deputy Director of the Department of Finance. She was appointed as County Budget Director in January 2023, serving in that position before becoming acting Finance Director.
