Who we are

The City of Keene is more than buildings, roads, parks, and programs—it’s the people who work every day to keep our community running and make Keene a great place to live, work, visit, and do business. Our employees serve the community in many different ways, from public safety and infrastructure to recreation, planning, sustainability, and the many services that happen behind the scenes.

Our roles may be different, but we share a common purpose: serving our community and making a positive difference. We believe great public service starts with great people, and we value collaboration, respect, accountability, innovation, and a willingness to work together to solve problems and get things done.

We take our responsibilities seriously, but we also believe in being approachable, supportive, and connected—to one another and to the community we serve. We value new ideas, different perspectives, and the experience and talents each employee brings to the team.

At the end of the day, we’re a group of people who care about Keene and about doing good work for our community. Together, we’re meeting the needs of today while helping to build a strong, welcoming, and sustainable Keene for the future.
