Monica Irelan Dupee

Outstanding Leader in Revitalization

Monica Irelan Dupee has served as Painesville City Manager since December 2016. When Mrs. Dupee began her time in Painesville, she was faced with many challenges and negative attitudes toward the city by residents. Her biggest challenge was how to bring a sense of community back to Painesville and change its diminished perception. Through dogged determination and tirelessly working to form smart, constructive partnerships throughout the community, she has brought back community pride in Painesville, resulting in a resurgence of new investment into the city.
