Oakland County introduces Olu Martins as deputy director of public services
Summary
Oakland County executive office introduced Olu Martins as deputy director of public services; Martins cited 15 years of workforce development experience, including work with justice‑impacted populations. The appointment was recorded as part of communications the board received and filed.
Oakland County officials introduced Olu Martins as the county’s new deputy director of public services during the board meeting. The executive office said Martins previously served as executive director of the Center for Employment Opportunities and brings “a wealth of experience in workforce development,” particularly serving justice‑impacted populations.
“I come to Oakland County with 15 years of workforce development experience. I’m primarily serving underserved communities, most recently serving the justice‑impacted population,” Martins said, adding she intends to collaborate across departments to expand economic opportunities.
Commissioners welcomed Martins and noted prior local collaboration; Commissioner Powell said Martins had been “very helpful to a lot of residents” where she previously worked. The introduction was part of the communications packet the board moved to receive and file later in the meeting.
The appointment was presented as a letter of appointment from public services; staff indicated the item was included in the communications summary and that the packet was received and filed by a board vote. The board did not take a separate roll‑call vote on the appointment during the public introduction. The meeting continued with other agenda items.
