BALDWIN, Ga. — The City of Baldwin has announced a change in the role of Emily Woodmaster, who has served as the city’s Chief Administrative Officer for the past three years. The Baldwin City Council voted unanimously to convert Woodmaster’s position to that of an independent contractor, effective immediately.
Woodmaster’s last official day serving in her full-time administrative capacity will be tomorrow, November 7. However, she will continue to work with the city in an independent consulting role through December 31 to ensure continuity during the transition.
Woodmaster has played a key role in Baldwin’s day-to-day government operations. As Chief Administrative Officer, she has overseen all city services, coordinated with department heads, managed public communications, prepared the annual budget, and helped guide several ongoing infrastructure and development projects.
Before stepping into the CAO position, Woodmaster served as City Clerk for two years, bringing a total of five years of service to Baldwin’s municipal government.
Woodmaster’s continued involvement through the end of the year is intended to provide a smooth transition as the city evaluates next steps for administrative management heading into 2026.
