We are at once delighted and disheartened to announce that Assistant Township Manager, Director of Community Development, and Zoning Officer, Lori Hanlon-Widdop retired from Haverford Township on April 1, 2018. Lori has been a tremendous asset to the Township in her 28 years with us.

Larry Holmes 6th Ward Commissioner
In 1992, she was appointed as the Director of Code Enforcement, making her the first female department director in Haverford Township. Almost immediately, she began the moving of the department into the digital age, moving from hand-written permits to an electronic processing system and revising the Zoning Map to add individual properties and clarify the boundaries of each district. She later coordinated to develop the current system for property records, permits, and licensing, which soon will allow Township applications to be completed online. When Lori was appointed to Assistant Township Manager in 2009, she again made Township history as the first female employee to be promoted to senior administration. Throughout her career, Lori used her dynamic combination

of tenacity and creativity to make our Township a great place to live and work. Her final project, the Haverford Township Municipal Services Building, leaves us with a lasting reminder of her many years of hard work and service. On behalf of everyone here at Haverford Township, we will miss Lori dearly and wish her the best of luck.
