Administration

The Township's three elected administrators are full-time employees of the Township, with his or her designated area of responsibility and expertise. Their "hands-on" manner keeps them in close touch with members of the community. All three make it a priority to be accessible to Township residents and businesses and responsive to their needs. They are committed to maintaining the Township's unique nature and planning for its future.

After serving eight years as a Bloomfield Township Trustee, Jan Roncelli was elected Clerk in November 2004. As Clerk, she is the coordinator for all Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and responsible for voter registration, elections, lake boards, passports, solicitation permits, and record keeping in the Township.

Jan’s certifications and academic degrees demonstrate commitment to her profession and higher education. Most recently, the International Institute of Municipal Clerks (IIMC) awarded Jan certification as a Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC). This status is granted to those clerks who earn advanced education in municipal responsibilities and demonstrate pertinent experience in a municipality. The IIMC represents 10,000 members in municipalities of 250 to more than 10 million people in North America and 15 other countries. Along with the newly earned title, Jan holds a Ph.D. and M.A. in Communication from Wayne State University and a B.A. in Speech and Drama from Marygrove College.

Her leave of absence from a tenured position as an Associate Professor of Communication, Indiana University-Purdue University, transformed her career from educator to entrepreneur. Jan owns Bermar Associates, Inc., a plastic injection molding company in Troy. While she holds the office of Clerk, her husband and partner, Dan Gorney, oversees the day-to-day operations of the business.

Volunteer service and membership in professional and community organizations occupy Jan’s free time. She is a member of the Michigan Township Association, National Association of Women Business Owners, Troy Chamber of Commerce, Society of Plastics Engineers, Birmingham Women's Republican Club, Bloomfield Women’s Republican Club, the Women Officials' Network, and the Church of St. Owen. She is on the Board of Directors for the Detroit Chapter of the National Tooling and Machining Association and the Small Business Association of Michigan.

A Township resident since 1964, Jan has one son, Brian Gorney, who attends college, and two cocker spaniels, Max and Duke.
