Canton Charter Township - MI issued the following announcement on Sept. 17.
Canton Township is pleased to welcome its new Deputy Supervisor, Joseph Hawver. Hawver comes to Canton from Kalamazoo County, where he served as the Prosecuting Attorney’s administrator for Kalamazoo County’s eight problem solving courts.
Prior to that position, Hawver prosecuted child abuse, child neglect, juvenile delinquency and domestic violence cases for six years. In recent years, Hawver successfully advocated for the creation of more violence prevention and trauma recovery programming for survivors and their families in the Kalamazoo county juvenile courts.

We’re ready to hit the gas on the Board’s ambitious agenda to Move Canton Forward.”
Hawver said he’s looking forward to serving Canton residents.
“Canton is a wonderful community to live, work and raise a family,” said Hawver. “Safe neighborhoods, strong families, beautiful parks and natural spaces, and rich with diversity – that’s what makes Canton special. I’m looking forward to working with Supervisor Anne Marie Graham-Hudak and the Board of Trustees to keep Canton bright and beautiful.”
“We’re pleased to be strengthening Canton Township while remaining fiscally responsible and transparent in the process,” said Supervisor Graham-Hudak.
As Deputy Supervisor, Hawver will be Chief of Staff in Canton Township, responsible for overseeing operations of Canton’s Leadership team and interfacing with elected officials, the business and nonprofit community, and community groups.
